Fifty years ago, when I was in college, I always listened to "The Midnight Special" on WFMT in Chicago on Saturday night.

The show is still going strong and also now syndicated.

One song they used to play frequently always captivated me, but I've forgotten the lyrics and who performed it. I have no doubt that someone here can help.

It was sung by a chorus, acapella, in a minor key, and I seem to remember that it involved ghosts or some sort of supernatural goings-on.

Each line ended with nonsense syllables which sounded something like "Come income kitty come ky me oh" and the chorus ended "Fa fa fa fa filly illy income, income kitty come ky me oh".

Can anyone identify the song and who might have recorded it?

It was definitely not the Chubby Parker variation of "Frog Went a Courtin'", which contains similar lyrics.
