[00:12.80] Well I come in on a night train
[00:14.30] With an arm full of box cars
[00:16.41] On the wings of a magpie
[00:18.06] Cross a hooligan night
[00:20.09] And I busted up a chifforobe
[00:22.49] Way out by the cocomo
[00:24.14] Cooked up a mess a mulligan
[00:25.94] And got into a fight
[00:28.17] Whistlin past the graveyard
[00:29.80] Steppin on a crack
[00:31.73] I'm a mean motherhubbard
[00:33.53] Papa one eyed jack
[00:35.23] You propably seen me sleepin
[00:37.33] Out by the railroad tracks
[00:39.43] Go on and ask the prince of darkness
[00:40.83] What about all thet smoke
[00:41.73] Come from the stack
[00:43.33] Sometimes I kill myself a jacket
[00:45.13] Suck out all the blood
[00:47.03] Steal myself a stationwagon
[00:49.49] Drivin through the mud
[00:51.04] Whistlin past the graveyard
[00:52.97] Steppin on a crack
[00:54.47] I'm a mean motherhubbard
[00:56.37] Papa one eyed jack
[00:58.12] I know you seen my headlights
[01:00.38] And the honkin of my horn
[01:02.08] I'm callin out my bloodhounds
[01:04.03] Chase the devil through the corn
[01:05.93] Last night I chugged the mississippi
[01:07.93] Now that suckers dry as a bone
[01:10.36] Born in a taxi cab
[01:12.11] I'm never comin home
[01:13.92] Whistlin past the graveyard
[01:15.95] Steppin on a crack
[01:17.55] I'm a mean motherhubbard
[01:19.53] Papa one eyed jack
[01:21.43] My eyes have seen the glory
[01:23.28] Of the draining of the ditch
[01:25.23] I only come to baton rouge
[01:27.15] To find myself a witch
[01:29.08] I'm-ona snatch me up a
[01:30.23] Couple of em every time it rains
[01:33.04] You see a locomotive
[01:34.82] Probably thinkin it's a train
[01:36.92] Whistlin past the graveyard
[01:38.87] Steppin on a crack
[01:40.47] I'm a mean motherhubbard
[01:42.22] Papa one eyed jack
[01:44.59] What you think is the sunshine
[01:46.15] Is just a twinkle in my eye
[01:48.00] That ring around my fingers
[01:50.15] Just the 4th of july
[01:51.90] When I get a little bit lonesome
[01:53.95] And a tear falls from my cheek
[01:56.06] There's gonna be an ocean in
[01:57.91] The middle of the week
[02:00.01] Whistlin past the graveyard
[02:01.81] Steppin on a crack
[02:03.61] I'm a mean motherhubbard
[02:05.57] Papa one eyed jack
[02:07.17] I rode into town on a night train
[02:09.27] With an arm full of box cars
[02:11.23] On the wings of a magpie
[02:13.03] Cross a hooligan night
[02:14.96] I'm-ona tear me off a rainbow
[02:17.02] And wear it for a tie
[02:18.92] I never told the truth
[02:20.47] So I can never tell a lie
[02:22.87] Whistlin past the graveyard
[02:24.51] Steppin on a crack
[02:26.31] I'm a mean motherhubbard
[02:28.39] Papa one eyed jack
[02:31.38] Hey
[02:36.70] Hey
[02:40.33] Hey
[02:41.74] Hey
