Squirrel Nut Zippers - Ghost of Stephen Foster lyrics

Met the Ghost of Stephen Foster
At the Hotel Paradise
This is what I told him as
I gazed into his eyes:
Rooms were made for carpets
Towers made for spires
Ships were made for cannonade to
Fire off from inside them

Gwine to run all night gwine to run all day
Camptown ladies never sang all the
Doo dah day, no, no, no!
Gwine to run all night gwine to run all day
Camptown ladies never sang all the
Doo dah day, no, no, no!
Met the Ghost of Stephen Foster
At the Hotel Paradise
This is what I told him as
I gazed into his eyes:
Ships were made for sinking
Whiskey made for drinking
If we were made of cellophane, we'd all
Get stinking drunk much faster, ha, ha, ha

Gwine to run all night gwine to run all day
Camptown ladies never sang all the
Doo dah day, no, no, no!
Gwine to run all night gwine to run all day
Camptown ladies never sang all
The doo dah day!
