Rachel 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!
