THE SOUNDS OF GHOSTS A-CRYING


WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
GOLDFINGER PUBLISHING, 2000


Where was your pale-eyed love when your heart was ripped to pieces?
Strange Carter, Angry Sid and ‘Weird’ Ronnie Dove when your mind was blown away
Where were your savage companions?
When you were down on your knees and bent
And bent

 

Where’re Wild Andy, Red and Crazy John? You’d known them for so long
Sweet, sweet Jane, Loretta – Lou and cool Victoria and promises so dear to your heart
Said the way you came around
Like the king of the underground
And in the distance hear them wailing
The sounds of ghosts’ a-crying
The sounds of ghosts’ a-crying
The sounds of ghosts’ a-crying

Yeah

 

The blue lights from the T.V. flickering 24 hours a day
Blitzcore-Rock’n’Roll devotions ‘n’ one too many high-speed hurricane

 

You loved Brother Moon and Sister Ray and also loved to go a little insane
You felt like flying to the stars so cool and groovy with that needle in your arm
Where were your partners in time?
When you sat right back to blow your mind
Now all that’s left is
The sounds of ghosts’ a-crying
The sounds of ghosts’ a-crying
The sounds of ghosts’ a-crying
Yeah
The sounds of ghosts’ a-crying
The sounds of ghosts’ a-crying
The sounds of ghosts’ a-crying
Yeah
