Dead Man's Stroll

Just got off from work

It was awful late

I had to pass the cemetery gate

The sky was dark

And the moon was bright

It was a very, very cold, cold night

I never thought I could see such a sight

A poor soul doing the Dead Man's Stroll

Dressed in a top hat, cane and all

Must have been going to a dead man's ball

May not believe it but it has to be told

A poor soul doing the Dead Man's Stroll

Nodded his head

With a finger he led

I wasn't sure there was nothing to dread

We went on for miles and miles

Just before I realized

The time had passed when I was cold

I was now doing

The Dead Man's Stroll
