Thread Name: Origins: Ghost of Tom / Ghost of John
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Ghost of Tom / Ghost of John
I am glad someone else remembers the verse: Have you seen the ghost of Tom?, Eyes bulged out and nose too long, with big ugly teeth and a shiny white chin, only one cheek to keep his tongue in.
The long white bones part was the second verse. We sang both verses and still sang it as around. Our fabulous music teacher, Al Moore had us sing it every year in elementary school.
