Thread Name: Lyr Req: Skin & Bones
Subject: Skin & Bones
Has anyone else heard of an old song about "an old woman, all skin and bones" who "took it in her head one day, to hear the parson sing and pray"? I heard it as a child from my mother (usually late on a dark evening, preferably around Halloween). My Father says she learned it from his mother. I would be interested in finding any other lyrics than those I already know.
