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.
