Текст песни: Mr. Skeleton + перевод

All around the storys told

How Mary died out in the cold

On a hill about a mile out of town

They found her old man dead

In another womans bed

And old Marys whole world came crashing down

She bit the finger off her hand

That wore the shiny wedding band

And sat there in the cold to wait to die

And who could what sparkled more

The diamond on the ring she wore

Or the shimmer in the frozen tears she cried

And through the mist ol' Mr Skeleton

I guess you’re coming after me

I won’t be missed ol' Mr Skeleton

So i will freely go with thee

Now Willy saved it hard

But he blew it all on rye and cards

He lost his shirt and one leg of his pants

He used to have more class

He had a horse shoe up his ass

He was a master of games of skill and chance

But that night was rough

When ol' red called his bluff

And willy was only holding pocket eights

You could see ol' willy frown

When fifth street came 'round

Cause he knew ol' red had finaly made his stright

And through the mist ol' Mr Skeleton

I guess you’re coming after me

I won’t be missed ol' Mr Skeleton

So i will freely go with thee

Im lousy at games of chance

Im lousy at romance

And heck pretty much everything else it seems

But when i close my eyes

The curtain starts to raise

And mr skeleton comes dancing to my dreams

But when i wake at dawn

The dream lingers on

And vein left for better days i pray

But I’ve given up on cards

And love is just as hard

And i wander when i lost the will to play

And through the mist ol' Mr Skeleton

I guess you’re coming after me

I won’t be missed ol' Mr Skeleton

So i will freely go with thee
