lyrics

I can’t believe
what you did to me
Underneath the shade
of your wishin’ tree

You wished for another
and prayed I was gone
I’ll find my way out…
so long.

Two whiskeys - neat, two beers, barkeep
and two more for the road
I’m drinkin’ myself to death tonight
so I can haunt some souls

Emily, you never liked me much
when I was still alive
Live with my ghost forevermore
long after I’ve done died

Now I’ve drank the poison
I’ve done the deed
I’ll meet my maker
Beneath the wishin’ tree

Too late to go back
I wonder why
I couldn’t make you love me
but I tried

Two whiskeys - neat, two beers, barkeep
and five more for the road
I’m drinkin’ myself to death tonight
so I can haunt some souls

Emily you never prized me much
when I was by your side
I hope your days are filled with tears
that cloud your pretty eyes

Sweet purgatory
where I now dwell
Just east of Needles
Just south of hell

She broke my heart!
I’ll torture her soul
My spectre calls her...
forevermore

Two whiskeys - neat, two beers, barkeep
and eight more for the road
I’m drinkin’ myself to death tonight
so I can haunt some souls

Emily you never loved me much
when I was still around
Too late to make amends
now that I’m six feet underground
