Swell Does the Skull

Swell does the skull

Don't want to be a sinner, no

Don't want to be a sinner

But bourbon, always bourbon

Swell does the skull

I don't want to be a sinner

Don't want to be a sinner, no

But velvet, always velvet

Here he comes through the rain

With his coat and his walking cane

And he says softly to me

"The war is over, we belong in the country"

Oooh

Oooh

Ring home the bell

There's honey on the bread now

There's honey on the bread now

And music, always music

He comes home, out of the rain

I take his coat, and his walking cane

He can feel that I hold him tight

The day's over

We belong by the fireside

Swell does my skull

I'll never be without him

I'll never be without him, no

I'll never be without him, no
