歌曲歌詞
I come in on a night train
with an arm full of boxcars
On the wings of a magpie
cross a hooligan night
And I busted up a chifferobe way
out by the kokomo
Cooked up a mess of mulligan
and got into a fight
Whistling past the graveyard stepping on a crack
Me and mother hubbard papa one eyed Jack
You probably seen me sleepin' out
by the railroad tracks
Go on and ask the prince of darkness
What about all that smoke come from the stack
Sometimes I kill myself a jackal
suck out all the blood
Steal myself a station wagon
driving through the mud
I'm gonna be whistlin'
past the graveyard steppin' on a crack
Me and mother hubbard papa one eyed Jack
I know you seen my headlights
and the honkin' of my horn
I'm callin' out my bloodhounds
chase the devil through the corn
Last night I chugged the Mississippi
now that suckers dry as a bone
I was born in a taxi cab I'm never going home
Whistling past the graveyard
stepping on a crack
Me and mother hubbard papa one eyed Jack
My eyes have seen the glory
of the draining of the ditch
I only come to Baton Rouge
I gotta find myself a witch
I'm gonna snatch me up
a couple of em every time it rains
You'll see a locomotive probably
thinking it's a train
Whistling past the graveyard
stepping on a crack
Me and mother hubbard papa one eyed Jack
What you think is the sunshine is
just a twinkle in my eye
That ring around my fingers
called the fourth of July
When I get a little bit lonesome
and a tear falls from my cheek
There's gonna be an ocean
in the middle of the week
Whistling past the graveyard
stepping on a crack
Me and mother hubbard papa one eyed Jack
I come into town on a night train
with an arm full of boxcars
On the wings of a magpie
cross a hooligan night
I'm gonna tear me off a rainbow
and wear it for a tie
I never told the truth
so I can never tell a lie
Whistling past the graveyard
stepping on a crack
Me and mother hubbard papa one eyed Jack
Hey
