Black ghost, black ghost, please stay away from my door

Black ghost, black ghost, will you please stay away from my door

Yeah you know you worry po' Lightnin' so now, I just can't sleep no more

Yeah you know I go to dreaming first night, black ghost is all po' Lightnin' can see

I go to dreaming first night, black ghost is all po' Lightnin' can see

You know that's why I begin to wonder why you keeps on worryin' me

Black ghost is a picture, and the black ghost is a shadow too

Whoa black ghost is a picture, and the black ghost is a shadow too

You just can see him, but you can't hear him talkin'

Ain't nothin' else that a black ghost can do

Black Ghost Blues!
