The Pine Box Boys — Skin and Bones Lady lyrics

Lyrics

There was an old lady all skin and bones, mm-hmm
And to the church she did go, mm-hmm
She came upon an old church stile
And she stopped to rest a little while, mm-hmm
And she came upon an old church door
And she stopped to rest a little more
She looked up, she looked down
And she spied a corpse upon the ground, mm-hmm
And from the crown to the chin
The worms crept out and the worms crept in, mm-hmm
And the lady to the preacher said, mm-hmm
«Will I be so when I am dead?»
And the preacher to the lady said, mm-hmm
«You will be so when you are dead,» mm-hmm
