[Verse 1]
[Em]John Russell Watkins
rode out late at night
Clippety- clop, clippety- clop
John Russell Watkins [E]carried a [Em]light
Clippety- clop, clippety- clop
John Russell Watkins [E]saw a strange
[Em]sight
Clippety- clop, clippety- clop, clop, clop
I'm a ghost, John R.W. I've [E]come to scare [D]you

[Verse 2]
Whoo, went the ghost,
[Em]whoo, whoo, whoo
John Russell [E]Watkins said
[Em]how do you [D]do?
Whoo, went the ghost,
[Em]whoo, whoo, whoo
I scared all the others, why can't I scare
[D]you?
Whoo, went the ghost,
[Em]whoo, [B]who[D]o, [Em]whoo
Said John Russell Watkins, because
you aren't really there
Said [Bm]John Russell Watkins,
because you're just air
Said [C]John Russell Watkins,
because I don't care
And rode [B]off Clippety- [Em]clop, clippety- clop

[Verse 3]
I'm a witch John R.W., a horrible [D]witch
Cackle and hackle and snaffily snitch
Watch [Em]my face turn green and my
ugly noise [D]twitch
Cackle and hackle and
[Em]snaffily snitch
I can turn into a toad and
make your skin [D]itch
Cackle and hackle and [Em]snaffily snitch
Said John Russell Watkins,
you don't scare me
You're as [Bm]little,
silly and sad as can be
And I've [C]seen all those tricks
which watching T.V
And rode [B]off Clippety-
[Em]clop, clippety- clop

[Verse 4]
I'm a troll, John R.W., a
monstrous [D]troll
Grumble and mumble and roll 'em down [Em]low
I sneak out every night from
a cold muddy [D]hole
Grumble and mumble [Em]and roll
[E]'em[D] do[G]wn[D]
[Em]low
Said John Russell Watkins,
you're a dream in the night
You're just [Bm]something I've
eaten that didn't feel right
And you [C]never are there when
I turn on the light
And rode [B]off Clippety-
[Em]clop, clippety- clop

[Verse 5]
Then [Em]the ghost, witch
and troll all started to [B]cry
Please pretend that we can [Bm]scare you,
please could you try?
[C]No, said John, that would be a lie
And rode [B]off [Em]Clippety- [B]clo[Em]p,
clippety- clop, Clippedy- clop, clippety- clop
