Oh what a day to dance with you Oh what a day to die I held you once in the palm of my hand And a fine old time it was Rachel I fear your death will come And leave me alone to die Rachel I fear your death will come And gone to the dogs and the dimes The men would come to you and me We’d freeze them like a light The men would come to you and me We’d freeze them like a light Say farewell Maria dear Your bones and teeth and skin Say farewell Maria dear My you’ve grown so thin Oh what a day to dance with you Oh what a day to die I had you once in the palm of my hand And a fine old time it was The men would come to you and me We’d freeze them like a light The men would come to you and me We’d freeze them like a light Say farewell Maria dear Your bones and teeth and skin Say farewell Maria dear My you’ve grown so thin!
