The Dundee Ghost

Lyrics

[Evil Laughter} [Verse] Now a deid man seldom walks He very rarely talks It's no' very often you'll find him runnin' aroond But I am a refugee Frae a graveyard in Dundee And I've come tae haunt some hooses in Glesga toon [Evil Laughter] I've come tae haunt some hooses in Glesga toon [Verse] The reason I arose Was tae get masel' some clothes For it really gets hell of a cauld below the grun But I whispered tae masel' "Ach, I think I might as well Hing aroond for a while and haе some fun [Evil Laughter] Hing aroond for a while and hae somе fun." [Verse] A man put oot his light On a cold and wintery night I showed him one of my eyes and slapped his heid He says "Oh!" and I says "Boo!" He says "Who the hell are you?" I said "Don't be feart, I'm only a man that's deid [Evil Laughter] "Don't be feart I'm only a man that's deid." [Verse] Now the fella knelt and prayed And this was what he said: "Why in the name of God have you picked on me?" So I pulled away his rug And I skelpt him one on the lug "The reason," says I, "I'll very soon let you see" [Evil Laughter] "The reason," says I, "I'll very soon let you see" [Verse] When he brought the polis in I battered him one on the chin The polis turned aroond and he blamed my friend He marched him to the jail He'll be in there quite a while But I'll see naebody takes his single end [Evil Laughter] I'll see naebody takes his single end [Verse} Now the polis thought him daft And a lot of people laughed When the fella said a ghost was in his house But what the fella said was true And I might be visitin' you So just remember I'm still on the loose [Evil Laughter] Just remember I'm still on the loose [Evil Laughter]
