I'm a poor broken-hearted bachelor

Living out here all alone

I'm a poor broken-hearted bachelor

Living out here all alone

Ain't got a friend in this world

An all of my people gone

The nightmare 'rouse me at night

The blue ghost haunts me all night long

The nightmare 'rouse me at night

The blue ghost haunts me all night long

They worry me so in this haunted house

I wished I was dead an gone

So I b'lieve, I b'lieve

I will try to marry an settle down

I b'lieve, I b'lileve

I will try to marry an settle down

But I'm a poor broken-hearted bachelor

Can't find a good woman nowhere around

Mmm-mmm-hmm

Ever since my dear old mother been dead

Ever since, ever since

My dear old mother been dead

Rocks have been my pillow

And the jungles have been my bed

I'm gonna try

An do the best that I can do

Because I know, good people

That I haven't even got a friend.
