Cemetery Blues by Edna Hicks Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Folks, I know a gal named Cemetery Lize down in Tennessee
She has got a pair of mean ol' graveyard eyes full of misery
Every night and day
You can hear her sing her blues away
[Verse 2]
I’m going down to the cemetery 'cause the world is all wrong
I'm going down to the cemetery ’cause the world is all wrong
And there with the spooks to hear 'em sing my sorrow song
[Verse 3]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Hey‚ he ain't no fine dresser‚ he don't wear nothin' but a sack
Every time he kisses me‚ that funny feelin' creeps up my back
