The Ghost That Never Walked

[Verse 1]
Don't shake with fear
As I draw near
I'm just a harmless creature
Don't think me wild
I'm meek and mild
For weakness is my feature

Please have a little pity
And listen to my ditty
I'm not the great Elijah
Who heals in Zion City

[Chorus]
I'm the ghost of a troupe
That disbanded in Peoria
I'm the ghost of a bunch
That were only out for glory
Glory, glory
Hallelujah-lujah!
Money never talked
In me you see a novelty
I'm the Ghost That Never Walked

[Verse 2]
On salary day
They used to pray
That I'd make my appearance
But railroad fares
And empty chairs
They caused an interference

Show days are not all sunny
And don't think me too funny
When I tell you I couldn't even pay them
With stage money

[Chorus]
I'm the ghost of a troupe
That disbanded in Peoria
I'm the ghost of a bunch
That were only out for glory
Glory, glory
Hallelujah-lujah!
Money never talked
In me you see a novelty
I'm the Ghost That Never Walked

I'm the ghost of a troupe
That disbanded in Peoria
I'm the ghost of a bunch
That were only out for glory
Glory, glory
Hallelujah-lujah!
Money never talked
In me you see a novelty
I'm the Ghost That Never Walked
