Lonnie Johnson "Blue Ghost Blues (1938)" |
Mmmmmm, something cold is creepin' around. Mmmmmm, something cold is creepin' around. Blue Ghost is got me, I feel myself sinkin' down. Black cat and a owl, come to keep my company. Black cat and a owl, comes to keep my company. He understands my troubles, mmm, and sympathize with me. I been in this haunted house, for three long years today. I been in this haunted house, for three long years today. Blue Ghost is got my shack surrounded, oh Lord, and I can't get away. I feel cold arms around me, and ice lips upon my cheeks. I feel cold arms around me, ice lips upon my cheeks. My lover is dead, how plainly plain I can hear her speak. Oh Lonnie, oh Lonnie �oh Lonnie, sweet Lonnie [spoken words - falsetto voice] That's my baby � [spoken words � Lonnie Johnson] My windows begin rattlin', my doorknob is turnin' �round an' �round. My windows is rattlin', doorknob is turnin' �round an' �round. My lover's ghost is got me, and I know my time won't be long. Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
