There Was an Old Woman

There was an old woman, all skin and bones.
Ahhhh Oooo Oooo
She went to the graveyard, all alone.
Ahhhh Oooo Oooo
She looked up and she looked down.
Ahhhh Oooo Oooo
She saw dead bodies all over the ground.
Ahhhh Oooo Oooo
The worms crawled here the worms crawled there.
Ahhhh Oooo Oooo
Putrid, stinky smells filled the air.
Ahhhh Oooo Oooo
She went to the Sexton and to him she said,
Ahhhh Oooo Oooo
Is this what I'll look like when I am dead?
Ahhhh Oooo Oooo
Yes, oh yes the Sexton said
Ahhhh Oooo Oooo
Yes, you will look like that when you are dead.
Ahhhh Oooo Oooo
The woman to the Sexton said,
[JUMP AND SHOUT] "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!"
