This shanty has gone through a number of changes. Another version says something like:

I hung a brutal mother,
and no other.

Probably its best to present it to younger and more sensitive readers as a sort of nonsense rhyme or song, not as a factual plan of action or historical account.
I remember happily chanting about some innocent classmate
"XXX XXXX is no good, chop her up for firewood."

I have never (yet) acted out my homicidal fantasies.
