[Verse 1]
Bm                  Bm
  Well I come in on a night train    With an arm full of box cars
Bm                  Bm
  On the wings of a magpie       Cross a hooligan night
Bm                  Bm
  And I busted up a chifforobe     Way out by the cocomo
Bm                  Bm
  Cooked up a mess a mulligan      And got into a fight

[Chorus]
G7                F#7
Whistlin' past the graveyard  Steppin on a crack
   G7               F#7
I'm a mean motherhubbard    Papa one-eyed jack

[Verse 2]
Bm                  Bm
  You've probably seen me sleepin   Out by the railroad tracks
Bm                    Bm
  Go on and ask the prince of darkness  What about all that smoke come from the stack
Bm                  Bm
  Sometimes I kill myself a jacket  suck out all the blood
Bm                  Bm
  Steal myself a station wagon    Drive it through the mud

[Chorus]
G7                F#7
Whistlin' past the graveyard  Steppin on a crack
   G7               F#7
I'm a mean motherhubbard    Papa one-eyed jack

[Verse 3]
Bm                  Bm
  I know you seen my headlights    And the honkin' of my horn
Bm                  Bm
  I'm callin' out my bloodhounds   Chase the devil through the corn
Bm                    Bm
  Last night I chugged the Mississippi  Now that sucker's dry as a bone
Bm               Bm
  Born in a taxi cab   I'm never comin' home

[Chorus]
G7                F#7
Whistlin' past the graveyard  Steppin on a crack
   G7               F#7
I'm a mean motherhubbard    Papa one-eyed jack

[Verse 4]
Bm                  Bm
  My eyes have seen the glory     Of the draining of the ditch
Bm                  Bm
  I only come to baton rouge     To find myself a witch
Bm                      Bm
  I'm-ona snatch me up a couple of 'em     every time it rains
Bm                  Bm
  You see a locomotive prob'ly   thinkin' it's a train

[Chorus]
G7                F#7
Whistlin' past the graveyard  Steppin on a crack
   G7               F#7
I'm a mean motherhubbard    Papa one-eyed jack

[Verse 5]
Bm                  Bm
  What you think is the sunshine   Is just a twinkle in my eye
Bm                       Bm
  That ring around my fingers  it's just the 4th of July
Bm                      Bm
  When I get a little bit lonesome  And a tear falls from my cheek
Bm                  Bm
  There's gonna be an ocean in the mid - dle of the week

[Chorus]
G7                F#7
Whistlin' past the graveyard  Steppin on a crack
   G7               F#7
I'm a mean motherhubbard    Papa one-eyed jack

[Verse 6]
Bm                  Bm
  I rode into town on a night train  with an arm full of box cars
Bm                  Bm
  On the wings of a magpie      cross a hooligan night
Bm                  Bm
  I'ma tear me off a rainbow and wear it for a tie
Bm                    Bm
  I never told the truth   so I can never tell a lie

[Chorus]
G7                F#7
Whistlin' past the graveyard  Steppin on a crack
   G7               F#7
