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!)
