There was a lady all skin and bone
There was a lady all skin and bone,
Sure such a lady was never known:
It happened upon a certain day,
This lady went to church to pray.
When she came to the church stile, There she did rest a little while;
When she came to the church yard,
There the hells so loud she heard.
When she came to the church door,
She stopped to rest a little more;
When she came the church within,
The parson prayed ’gainst pride and sin
