Cemetery Blues (09-26-23) |
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! |
