Catrina never married

Catrina never married,
or had children of her own.
It' hard to make sweet love
to just a pelvic bone.

One day she found three dogs,
a merry little pack,
She found them in the woods,
off the beaten track.

She lavished them with love,
and made them little hats.
She didn't care if the village people,
thought she had gone bats.

Dias de Los Muertos
was her favorite holiday.
She made the children sugar skulls,
and with her dogs they'd play.

She had no children of her own,
yet the children called her mom,
each one was special in her eyes,
each playground her kingdom.

This was many years ago
in a hamlet far away,
where people say they still are seen
on the Dead's favorite day.
