    "Her man once had a headache that was drivin' him insane
    Next day the sheriff found him with a bullet through his brain.
    But she convinced the judge she only meant to kill the pain
    Because she done things, within the law."

    Fargo Fanny was a bold bad girl
    But she done things within the law.
    She openly admitted every crime that she committed
    Cause she done things within the law.

    One day her boyfriends headache
    Was driving him insane
    The next day they found him
    With a bullet through his brain
    But she convinced the judge
    She only meant to kill the pain
    But she done things within the law.

    Not sure of the parts within quotes:

    "A wealthy rancher" disappeared but when the law explored
    They found him in the cellar where Fanny had him stored but
    Fanny made it legal when she charged him room and board
    ho ho she done things within the law.

    "Fanny caught a married man" out with someone else's dame
    He paid Fanny money not to expose his name
    He stayed out of the picture but she kept him in the frame
    because she done things within the law.
