Lyrics for Song: Blue Ghost Blues (1927)
Lyrics for Album: Complete Recorded Works 1925-32, Vol. 3-(1927-28) [1991]
Mmmmmm, I feel myself sinkin' down.
Mmmmmm, I feel myself sinkin' down.
My body is freezin', I feel something cold creepin' around.
My windows is rattlin', my doorknob turnin' 'round an' 'round.
My windows is rattlin', my doorknob turnin' 'round an' 'round.
This haunted house blues is killin' me, I feel myself sinkin' down.
I been fastin' in this haunted house, six long months today.
I been fastin' in this haunted house, six long months today.
The Blue Ghost is got the house surrounded, Lord, and I can't get away.
They got shotguns and pistols, standin' all 'round my door.
They got shotguns and pistols, standin' all 'round my door.
They haunt me all night long, so I can't sleep no more.
The Blue Ghost haunts me all night, the nightmare rides me all night long.
The Blue Ghost haunts me at night, the nightmare rides me all night long.
They worry me so in this haunted house, I wished I was dead and gone.
