Cemetery Blues |
| Folks, I know a gal named Cemetary Lize, |
| Down in Tennessee; |
| She has got a pair of mean old graveyard eyes, |
| Full of misery! |
| Every night and day, |
| You can hear her sing her blues away: |
| I’m going down to the cemetary, |
| 'Cause the world is all wrong! |
| I’m going down to the cemetary, |
| 'Cause the world is all wrong! |
| Down there with the spooks to hear 'em sing my sorrow song. |
| Got a date to see a ghost |
| By the name of Jones, |
| Got a date to see a ghost, |
| By the name of Jones, |
| Makes me feel happy to hear him rattle his bones! |
| He’s one man |
| I always know just where to find! |
| He’s one man, |
| I always know just where to find! |
| When you want true lovin', go and get the cemetary kind! |
| He ain’t no fine dresser, |
| He don’t wear nothin' but a sack; |
| Yeah, he ain’t no fine dresser, |
| He don’t wear nothin' but a sack; |
| Everytime he kisses me, that funny feeling creeps up my back! |
