Old Ghost

I'm just an old ghost, nice as can be I'm just an old ghost, you can see right through me They marked my grave with a wooden cross And told my gal, sorry for the loss It all ended on a Saturday night When the Showdown caught fire and I was inside Well I ran as fast as I could But it didn't do me any good I wish my baby was Dead like me Safe and sound in the ground, baby Dead like me Safe and sound in the ground, baby Dead like me I wish my baby was Dead like me Safe and sound in the ground, baby Dead like me Safe and sound in the ground, baby Dead like me Oh dead like me She hits the bottle every night, its a sight to see Sits alone in our home trying to talk to me But I never get through Oh, I always try to She said "I'm so tired, I'm so weak, Wish I could stand on my own two feet Pray for me Saint Paula, pray for me" I wish my baby was Dead like me Safe and sound in the ground, baby Dead like me Safe and sound in the ground, baby Dead like me I wish my baby was Dead like me Safe and sound in the ground, baby Dead like me Safe and sound in the ground, baby Dead like me Oh dead like me
