Verse
Bm
Well I come in on a night train With an arm full of box cars

On the wings of a magpie Cross a hooligan night

And I busted up a chifforobe Way out by the cocomo
Bm
Cooked up a mess a mulligan And got into a fight

Whistlin' past the graveyard Steppin on a crack
G7 F#7
I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one-eyed jack

You've probably seen me sleepin Out by the railroad tracks

Sometimes I kill myself a jacket suck out all the blood

Steal myself a station wagon Drive it through the mud

Whistlin' past the graveyard Steppin on a crack
G7 F#7
I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one-eyed jack

Bm
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 sucker's dry as a bone

Born in a taxi cab I'm never comin' home

Whistlin' past the graveyard Steppin on a crack

What you think is the sunshine Is just a twinkle in my eye
