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. ~
