Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Lady All Skin and Bone
My grandmother sang this to us kids and it was very creepy....each line was repeated 3 times

There was an old woman, who was nothing but skin and bones.
Oh-oh,oh,oh

One day the woman said, I'll go hear the parson preach and pray.
Oh-oh,oh,oh

When she got to the church-house stile, she said she'd rest a little while. Oh-oh,oh,oh

When she got to the church-house door, she said she'd rest a little more. Oh-oh,oh,oh

When she got to the church-house aisle, she spied a corpse upon the floor. Oh-oh,oh,oh

The woman to the parson said, will I look so when I am dead?
Oh-oh,oh,oh

The parson to the woman said, Yes you'll look so when you are dead.
Oh-oh,oh,oh

The woman to the parson said....AHHHHHHHHHH (END WITH LOUD SCREAM)

Very cool....
