1
All around the story's told
2
How Mary died out in the cold
3
On a hill about a mile out of town
4
They found her old man dead
5
In another woman's bed
6
And old Marys whole world came crashing down
7
She bit the finger off her hand
8
That wore the shiny wedding band
9
And sat there in the cold to wait to die
10
And who could what sparkled more
11
The diamond on the ring she wore
12
Or the shimmer in the frozen tears she cried
13
And through the mist ol' Mr. Skeleton
14
I guess you're coming after me
15
I wont be missed ol' Mr. Skeleton
16
So i will freely go with thee
17
Now Willy saved it hard
18
But he blew it all on rye and cards
19
He lost his shirt and one leg of his pants
20
He used to have more class
21
He had a horseshoe up his ass
22
He was a master of games of skill and chance
23
But that night was rough
24
When ol' Red called his bluff
25
And Willy was only holding pocket eights
26
You could see ol' Willy frown
27
When fifth street came 'round
28
Cause he knew ol' Red had finally made his straight
29
And through the mist ol' Mr. Skeleton
30
I guess you're coming after me
31
I wont be missed ol' Mr. Skeleton
32
So I will freely go with thee
33
I'm lousy at games of chance
34
I'm lousy at romance
35
And heck pretty much everything else it seems
36
But when I close my eyes
37
The curtain starts to raise
38
and Mr. skeleton comes dancing to my dreams
39
But when I wake at dawn
40
The dream lingers on
41
And vein left for better days I pray
42
But I've given up on cards
43
And love is just as hard
44
And I wonder when I lost the will to play
45
And through the mist ol' Mr. Skeleton
46
I guess you're coming after me
47
I wont be missed ol' Mr. Skeleton
48
So I will freely go with thee
