Harley Poe - Old Woman All Skin And Bone lyrics
[Harley Poe - Old Woman All Skin And Bone lyrics]
There was an old woman all skin and bone
Who lived near the graveyard all alone
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
She thought she'd go to church one day
To hear the parson preach and pray
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
And when she came to the church-house stile
She thought she stop and rest awhile
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
When she came up to the door
She thought she'd stop and rest some more
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
But when she turned and looked around
She saw a corpse upon the ground
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
From it's nose down to it's chin
The worms crawled out
And the worms crawled in
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The woman to the preacher said
"Shall I look like that when I am dead?"
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The preacher to the woman said
"You'll look like that when you are dead"
AH!
Who lived near the graveyard all alone
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
She thought she'd go to church one day
To hear the parson preach and pray
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
And when she came to the church-house stile
She thought she stop and rest awhile
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
When she came up to the door
She thought she'd stop and rest some more
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
But when she turned and looked around
She saw a corpse upon the ground
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
From it's nose down to it's chin
The worms crawled out
And the worms crawled in
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The woman to the preacher said
"Shall I look like that when I am dead?"
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The preacher to the woman said
"You'll look like that when you are dead"
AH!
