Edna Hicks Cemetary Blues Lyrics

Cemetary Blues Lyrics

Folks, I know a gal named Cemetary Lize, 

Down in Tennessee; 

She
has got a pair of mean old graveyard eyes, 

Full of misery. 

Every
night and day, 

You can hear her sing her blues away: 



I'm
goin' down to the cemetary, 

'Cause the world is all wrong, 

I'm
goin' down to the cemetary, 

'Cause the world is all wrong, 

And
there ain't a fool to hear me sing my sorrow song. 



I got a date
to see a ghost 

By the name of Jones, 

I got a date to see a ghost


By the name of Jones, 

Make me feel happy to hear him rattle his
bones. 



He ain't no fine dresser, 

He don't wear nothing but
a sack; 

Everytime he kisses me, that funny feeling creeps up my back.
