(All this fits beautifully with this bass pattern)
Verse
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
Cooked up a mess a mulligan And got into a fight
Whistlin' past the graveyard Steppin on a crack
I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one-eyed jack
verse 2
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
I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one-eyed jack
verse 3
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
I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one-eyed jack
verse 4
My eyes have seen the glory Of the draining of the ditch
I only come to baton rouge To find myself a witch
I'm-ona snatch me up a couple of 'em every time it rains
You see a locomotive prob'ly thinkin' it's a train
Whistlin' past the graveyard Steppin on a crack
I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one-eyed jack
Verse 5
What you think is the sunshine Is just a twinkle in my eye
That ring around my fingers it's just the 4th of July
When I get a little bit lonesome And a tear falls from my cheek
There's gonna be an ocean in the mid - dle of the week
Whistlin' past the graveyard Steppin on a crack
I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one-eyed jack
Verse 6
I rode into town on a night train with an arm full of box cars
On the wings of a magpie cross a hooligan night
I'ma tear me off a rainbow and wear it for a tie
I never told the truth so I can never tell a lie
Whistlin' past the graveyard Steppin on a crack
I'm a mean motherhubbard Papa one-eyed jack
