Ghost of Tchoupitoulas St. Songtext
von The Freewheelers

Caught at a four-way light
In a fortnight′s gloom
Quick something shining bright,
An angel I presume

"Is she hungry?"
She looks like a railway child
"Is she lonely?"
Her eyes are hazel and wild
In the manhole steam
Could it be a deep sleep dream?
Lately things ain't what they seem, no,
Somethin′ tells me she's the Ghost of Tchoupitoulas St.

"Quick! Pull the taxi over!"
My voice it tells the man
I run bathing' in the moon
To catch her if I can


"Have you seen her?"
I beg of the midnight clown
"Or did I dream her?"
He does his best to calm me down
I must′ve smoked too much
Lately I been outta touch
Well, my heart is limping on no crutch
He tells me that she′s just the Ghost of Tchoupitoulas St.

Well, now I'm hung up
On a damsel dressed in green
I must′ve rung up
Eeverybody that I knew
Could give a sign to me

"Tell me Fredie, did ya see?"
"I see her floatin' by the Christmas tree"
I′ve seen too much voodoo
Down on Tchoupitoulas
Let me know if you do
Down on Tchoupitoulas
I've seen too much hoodoo
Down on Tchoupitoulas St.
Yeah
