Whistling Past The Graveyard

You probably seen me sleepin' 

Out by the railroad tracks

Ask the prince of darkness

About all the smoke come from the stack

Sometimes I kill a jackal

And suck out all the blood

Steal myself a station-wagon

Drivin' through the mud

Whistlin' past the graveyard

Steppin' on a crack

I'm a mean motherhubbard

Papa one eyed jack

I know you've seen my headlights

And the honkin' of my horn

I'm callin' out my bloodhounds

Chase the devil out the corn

Last night I chugged the Mississippi

Now it's dry as a bone

I was born in a taxi cab

I ain't never goin' home

Screamin' Jay Hawkins "Whistling past the graveyard"

(Somethin' Funny Goin' On, 1994)
