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
[Crazy laughter]
Nodded his head, with a finger he led I wasn't sure there was nothing to dread We went on strolling 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
