1. Down in the graveyard where we have our tryst,
Am D
the
air smells sweet and the air smells thick.
Am D
He never smiles, his mouth
merely twists,
Am D
the
breath in my lungs feels clinging and thick.
Am D
Now, I know his name, he´s called Mr. D.,
Am D
and
one of these days he´s gonna
set you free.
Am D
Human skulls is hanging right
round his neck,
Am D
the
palm of my hands feels clammy and wet.
Am D
I was dancing, dancing, dancing so free,
Am D
dancing, dancing, dancing so free !
Am D
Dancing, Lord, keep your hands off me !
Am D
Dancing with Mr. D. !
Am - D Am - D
+ With Mr. D. , with Mr. D. !
Am D
2. Will it be poison he put in my glass ?
Am D
Will it be slow or will it be fast ?
Am D
The bite of a snake, the sting
of a spider,
Am D
a
drink of Belladonna on a Toussaint night.
Am D
Hiding in a corner in New York
City
Am D
looking
down on 44 and West Virginia ?
+ CHORUS
Am - D Am - D
+ With Mr. D. , with Mr. D. ! (2x)
Am - D
+ Dancing, dancing ! (4x)

3. One night I was dancing with a lady in black
Am D
wearing
black silk gloves and a black silk hat.
Am D
She looked at me longing with
black velvet eyes,
Am D
she
gazed at me strange, all cunning and wise.
Am D
Then I saw the flesh just fall
off her bones,
Am
D
the
eyes in her skull were burning like coals.
Am D
Lord, have mercy, fire and
brimstone,
Am D
I was dancing with Mistress D.
