Lonesome Graveyard

On my way home, by that lonesome graveyard
On my way home, by that lonesome graveyard
A ghost jumps up, say, "Come here, won't you be my man?"

Was no ghost at all, someone askin' for a home
Was no ghost at all, someone askin' for a home
Sayin', "Boy, come here and take me to your room..."

That young ghost woman... well, she keeps me thin
That young ghost woman... well, she keeps me thin
Take the money I get workin' on the L&N

I ain't no lamp, but my wick is burnin' low
I ain't no lamp, but my wick is burnin' low
Trim my wick before it drop to the floor

On my way home, by that lonesome graveyard
On my way home, by that lonesome graveyard
A ghost jumps up and say, "Come here, won't you be my man?"
A ghost jump up and she make my life worthwhile
