Answer 1

Laurie (strange things happen) By Dickey lee. he made a few of those jolly songs. Last verse. Apart from your getting the garment wrong,the rest of song is as you described

A strange force drew me to the graveyard
I stood in the dark
I saw the shadows wave
And then I looked and I saw my sweater
Lying there upon her grave
Strange things happen in this world.
