Whistlin' Past the Graveyard

歌詞

Well I come in on a night train With an arm full of box cars On the wings of a magpie Cross a hooligan night And I busted up a chifforobe Way out by the cocomo Cooked up a mess a mulligan And got into a fight Whistlin past the graveyard Steppin on a crack I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one eyed jack You propably seen me sleepin' Out by the railroad tracks Go on and ask the prince of darkness What about all thet smoke Come from the stack Sometimes I kill myself a jacket Suck out all the blood Steal myself a stationwagon Drivin' through the mud Whistlin past the graveyard Steppin on a crack I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one eyed jack I know you seen my headlights And the honkin of my horn I'm callin out my bloodhounds Chase the devil through the corn Last night I chugged the Mississippi Now that suckers dry as a bone Born in a taxi cab I'm never comin' home Whistlin past the graveyard Steppin on a crack I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one eyed jack My eyes have seen the glory Of the draining of the ditch I only come to baton rouge To find myself a witch I'm-on a snatch me up a Couple of 'em every time it rains You see a locomotive Probably thinkin' it's a train Whistlin past the graveyard Steppin on a crack I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one eyed jack What you think is the sunshine Is just a twinkle in my eye That ring around my fingers Just the 4th of July When I get a little bit lonesome And a tear falls from my cheek There's gonna be an ocean in The middle of the week Whistlin past the graveyard Steppin on a crack I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one eyed jack I rode into town on a night train With an arm full of box cars On the wings of a magpie Cross a hooligan night I'm-on a tear me off a rainbow And wear it for a tie I never told the truth So I can never tell a lie Whistlin past the graveyard Steppin on a crack I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one eyed jack
