Whistlin’ Past the Graveyard

Tom Waits

INTRO

Riff

VERSE 1

Riff/Bm

I come in on a night train, with an arm full of box cars

On the wings of a magpie, cross a hooligan night

I busted up a chifforobe, way out by the cocomo

Cooked up a mess a mulligan, and got into a ﬁght

CHORUS

Whistlin' past the graveyard

Steppin' on a crack

A mean motherhubbard

Riff

Papa one eyed jack

VERSE 2

Riff/Bm

You probably seen me sleepin', out by the railroad tracks

Go on and ask the prince of darkness, what about all that smoke come from the stack,

Sometimes I kill myself a jackal, suck out all the blood

Steal myself a station-wagon, drivin' through the mud
