Billy Murray — The Ghost That Never Walked

[Verse 1] Don't shake with fear As I draw near I'm just a harmless creature Don't think me wild I'm meek and mild For weakness is my feature Please have a little pity And listen to my ditty I'm not the great Elijah Who heals in Zion City [Chorus] I'm the ghost of a troupe That disbanded in Peoria I'm the ghost of a bunch That were only out for glory Glory, glory Hallelujah-lujah! Money never talked In me you see a novelty I'm the Ghost That Never Walked [Verse 2] On salary day They used to pray That I'd make my appearance But railroad fares And empty chairs They caused an interference Show days are not all sunny And don't think me too funny When I tell you I couldn't even pay them With stage money [Chorus] I'm the ghost of a troupe That disbanded in Peoria I'm the ghost of a bunch That were only out for glory Glory, glory Hallelujah-lujah! Money never talked In me you see a novelty I'm the Ghost That Never Walked I'm the ghost of a troupe That disbanded in Peoria I'm the ghost of a bunch That were only out for glory Glory, glory Hallelujah-lujah! Money never talked In me you see a novelty I'm the Ghost That Never Walked
