Fred Penner - John Russell Watkins lyrics

John Russell Watkins rode out late at night Clippedy-clop, clippety-clop John Russell Watkins carried a light Clippedy-clop, clippety-clop John Russell Watkins saw a strange sight Clippedy-clop, clippety-clop, clop, clop I'm ghost John R.W., I've come to scare you Whoo, went the ghost, whoo, whoo, whoo John Russell Watkins said how do you do? Whoo, went the ghost, whoo, whoo, whoo I scared all the others, why can't I scare you? Whoo, went the ghost, whoo, whoo, whoo Said John Russell Watkins, because you aren't really there Said John Russell Watkins, because you're just air Said John Russell Watkins, because I don't care And rode off Clippedy-clop, clippety-clop I'm a witch John R.W., a horrible witch Cackle and hackle and snaffily snitch Watch my face turn green and my ugly noise twitch Cackle and hackle and snaffily snitch I can turn into a toad and make your skin itch Cackle and hackle and snaffily snitch Said John Russell Watkins, you don't scare me You're as little, silly and sad as can be And I've seen all those tricks which watching T.V. And rode off Clippedy-clop, clippety-clop I'm a troll John R.W., a monstrous troll Grumble and mumbel and roll 'em down low I sneak out every night from a cold muddy hole Grumble and mumbel and roll 'em down low Said John Russell Watkins, you're a dream in the night You're just something I've eaten that didn't feel right And you never are there when I turn on the light And rode off Clippedy-clop, clippety-clop Then the ghost, witch and troll all started to cry Please pretend that we can scare you, please could you try? No said John, that would be a lie And rode off Clippedy-clop, clippety-clop, Clippedy-clop, clippety-clop
