Graveyard Blues

Lyrics by Howard Anshell

 

You’ve got to
Take me, babe,
To the graveyard round the bend.
You’ve got to
Take me, babe;
I can feel my life at an end!
The bones in the graveyard are the only ones I can call my
Friends!
It’s been getting hard
Just to try to get by.
This world’s got no heart—
I don’t think I can even cry!
So, take me, babe
To the graveyard down the street,
‘Cause I’ve been feeling all used up and
Incomplete!
It’s been getting hard
Just to try to get along .
I’m all torn apart—
I can even feel my life is gone!
So take me, babe,
I want to read those
Graveyard stones—
Sitting in a graveyard is the only place I feel at
Home!
(I’m gonna lie down and sing my Graveyard Blues!)
