Graveyard

Leroy Bowman

 

Did you ever take a walk

On a pale moon night

Through a deserted cemetery?

Spooks all around

Shadows on the ground

Didn’t know it could be so scary

 

Every little thing gonna be alright

Ghost rock and roll

Bones rattle; skeletons hop

Ooh, one and all

I say, “Don’t go away.  Don’t be afraid

Honey, all they crave

Is just to take you and me

Down into the muddy grave”

 

The night was dark

The sky was blue

Everything was fine

I was taking a walk

Underneath the moon

With that little gal of mine

 

I saw smoke; I saw fire

Then I saw the flame

A white icy finger came floating toward me

And I heard it call my name

 

I begin to shake; I begin to run

I didn’t know where to hide

When I looked up from where I stood

It was standing at my side

 

Every little thing gonna be alright

Ghost rock and roll

Bones rattle; skeletons hop

Ooh, one and all

I say, “Don’t go away.  Don’t be afraid

Honey, all they crave

Is just to take you and me

Down into the muddy grave”
