The Revels – Midnight Stroll lyrics
Just got off from work, it was awful late
I had to pass the cemetery gate
The sky was dark and the moon was bright
It was a very, very, cold, cold night
I never thought I could see such a sight
A poor soul doing the Dead Man's Stroll

Dressed in a top hat, cane and all
Must have been going to a dead man's ball
May not believe it but it has to be told
A poor soul doing the Dead Man's Stroll


[Crazy laughter]

Nodded his head, with a finger he led
I wasn't sure there was nothing to dread
We went on strolling for miles and miles
Just before I realized
The time had passed when I was cold
I was now doing the Dead Man's Stroll

Bee-doo-bee-doo
Bee-doo-bee-doo
Bee-doo-bee-doo
[Tolling bell]

    On your way home from work late one night you pass by the gate of a cemetery. You're surprised to see a man strolling amongst the headstones. Verse 2 tells that he's wearing a top hat, carrying a cane, and he must be dressed like he's going to a party, or "dead man's ball". Of course, you start laughing like a crazed lunatic. You catch his attention so he points to where he wants you to go and asks you to follow. You stoll along with him for "miles and miles" until you finally realize that you, too, are dead and cold. At that point it's YOU who's doing the "Deadman's Stroll". Let's hope you're dressed for the ball!
    I inherited the 45" (yes, vinyl record) of this song from my parents. They'd like to play it late at night and on Halloween.
