Rattlin' Bones
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you ever get down New Orleans way
You might steer clear on St. Josephine
The graveyard bones make a rattlin' sound
The dead get up and start walkin' around
You might not believe me but I'll tell you it's true
And you would too, it can happen to you
I spent the night in a graveyard on a dare
And what I saw gave me a terrible scare
Rattlin' bones
Rattlin' bones
Creepin' from behind those headstones
And if you don't want to see them
You better stay home
There ain't no runnin' from
Them rattlin' bones
You may not believe me but I'll tell you it's true
And you would too
It can happens to each and every one of yous
I spent the night in a graveyard on a dare
And what I saw gave me a terrible scare
Rattlin' bones
Rattlin' bones
Creepin' from behind those headstones
And If you don't want to see them
You better stay home
There ain't no runnin' from them rattlin' bones
I said
Rattlin' bones
Rattlin' bones (hey, that's right)
Creepin' from behind those headstones
And if you don't wanna see them
You better stay home
There ain't no runnin' from
Them rattlin' bones
