screamin' jay hawkins - whistling past the graveyard lyrics

Loading...

coming on the night train
with an arm full of box cars
on the wings of a magpie, ‘cross a hooligan night
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 probably seen me sleepin’ out by the railroad tracks
ask the prince of darkness ’bout the smoke from the stack
sometimes i k!ll a jackal and suck out all the blood
steal myself a station+wagon, drive it into the mud

whistlin’ past the graveyard
steppin’ on a crack
i’m a mean motherhubbard
papa one eyed jack

i know you’ve seen my headlights and the honkin’ of my h+rn
i’m callin’ out my bloodhounds chase the devil out the corn
last night i cracked the mississippi now it’s dry as a bone
i was born in a taxi cab i ain’t never goin’ 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 drainin’ of the ditch

i’m comin’ to baton rouge
to find myself a witch
i’m gonna switch me up a couple of ’em every time it rains
you gotta 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 sunshine
is just a twinkle in my eye
i got a ring around my finger called the 4th of july
when i get lonesome, 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 come in on the night train
with an arm full of box cars
on the wings of a magpie
cross a hooligan night

i’m gonna tear off a rainbow
and wear it for a tie
i never told the truth
so how in the h+ll can i tell a lie

whistlin’ past the graveyard
steppin’ on a crack
i’m a mean motherhubbard
papa one eyed jack
