Lyrics

All around the story's 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 woman's bed and old Mary's 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, then who could say what sparkled more
The diamond on the ring she wore, or the shimmer of 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 horseshoe 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 finally made his straight
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
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
I'm lousy at games of chance, I'm 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 vainly for better days I pray
But I've given up on cards and love is just as hard
And I wonder 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
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
