Chonny Jash - The Man With The Skeleton Arms lyrics

Wake up Flanagan, the bartender's comin'
He says there's someone here who
Means to do us harm sound the alarm
It's the man with the skeleton arms

Ten years ago on Hogsback Mountain
The flames was roaring like a
Lion in a fountain the trees were burning
Too many to count 'em
And trapped in the middle
With fire all around him, was our man
Flanagan and I was out camping that day
We started our fire with turpentine and hay
The wind was howlin' so I
Guess we should have known
The flames was gonna get
Blown across thе land


Wake up Flanagan, the bartendеr's comin'
He says there's someone here who
Means to do us harm sound the alarm
It's the man with the skeleton arms

Two days later when the fire died out
Flanagan and I went to rootin' about
For to find a little
Dinner of roasted critter
Blackened blackbird eggs and
Pine-cone fritters
That was how we happened on
The badly burned man
He was yelpin' for help and so
We each grabbed a hand
Thinking we'd be heroes if we
Dragged him back home we pulled
But pulled the flesh right offa the bone

Wake up Flanagan, the bartendеr's comin'
He says there's someone here who
Means to do us harm sound the alarm
It's the man with the skeleton arms

Wake up Flanagan, the bartender's comin'
He says there's someone here who
Means to do us harm sound the alarm
It's the man with the skeleton arms

Now of all the mad people
That guy was the maddest
He pulled a bone across his throat
And he pointed right at us
Ten years on the lam from that skeletal man
He swore his revenge
We've heard his sinister plan:


I'll string you up by your hands
And lift you over a vat
And dip you up to your elbows
In the boiling fat
It's like an eye for an eye
But ninety-nine times worse
I'm gonna do to you what you did to me
Except in reverse

Wake up Flanagan, the bartendеr's comin'
He says there's someone here who
Means to do us harm sound the alarm
It's the man with the skeleton arms

Wake up Flanagan, the bartender's comin'
He says there's someone here who
Means to do us harm sound the alarm
It's the man with the skeleton arms

Wake up Flanagan, the bartender's comin'
He says there's someone here who
Means to do us harm sound the alarm
It's the man with the skeleton arms
