Bessie Smith - Cemetery Blues Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Folks, I know a gal named Cemetary Lize,
  • Down in Tennessee;
  • She has got a pair of mean old graveyard eyes,
  • Full of misery!
  • Every night and day,
  • You can hear her sing her blues away:
  • I'm going down to the cemetary,
  • 'Cause the world is all wrong!
  • I'm going down to the cemetary,
  • 'Cause the world is all wrong!
  • Down there with the spooks to hear 'em sing my sorrow song.
  • Got a date to see a ghost
  • By the name of Jones,
  • Got a date to see a ghost,
  • By the name of Jones,
  • Makes me feel happy to hear him rattle his bones!
  • He's one man
  • I always know just where to find!
  • He's one man,
  • I always know just where to find!
  • When you want true lovin', go and get the cemetary kind!
  • He ain't no fine dresser,
  • He don't wear nothin' but a sack;
  • Yeah, he ain't no fine dresser,
  • He don't wear nothin' but a sack;
  • Everytime he kisses me, that funny feeling creeps up my back!
