YODELIN' GHOST
(Jerome)
Patsy Montana- 1950
Bing Crosby & The Andrew Sisters - 1950
Everybody in the valley
Has a strange tale to tell
The story of a haunted house
And a ghost they all kne well
Well they tell the tale of a yodelin' ghost
And when the Moon is high
You could hear this woman's ghostly wail
But there was no ghost in sight
She would yod-oo-del in the cellar
She would yod-oo-del in the hall
When the clock struck midnight
You could hear her best of all
(Yodeling)
Well the womenfolk said they believed
It was wind howling through the place
But the menfolks all insisted
They could feel her fond embrace
Well the women were a jealous lot
So they burned the old house down
There's nothing left but ashes now
But her yodel is still around
She yod-oo-dels in the valley
She yod-oo-dels in the hills
She yodels till the Sun comes up
And everything is still
(Yodeling...........FADE)
