Graveyard Blues
By John Jackson
CHORUS: Im gonna start a graveyard of my own
If that man dont leave my gal alone
My razors got a rusty blade
Lay that man right in the shade
Im gonna start a graveyard of my own
SPOKEN:
I went down to my gals house, Sue
And I knocked on the door
And there was Sam Henry down there
And he asked me what Im doing down here
And I said im here to see my gal Sue
And he said, Your gal --
Why you see whos playing the cards here
CHORUS:
So I went back downtown
Feeling about twice
And I met that ugly scroundal
Down there messing with my wife
So I hit him a crack with my razor
His shoes made a noise
They said You can have the coat
But I got to go
CHORUS:
So I goes back downtown
And I met that dude Henry
Coming up Fifth Avenue
So I crossed over at Henry Street
And thats where we cornered
So I hit him a crack with my razor
And he went straight up four stories high
And began to fly.
Well his feet flew out from under him
And then I seen his britches started to wiggling
And the next thing Sam Henry was gone.
CHORUS:
