Ghost Lee Waters - Death Haunts Me Blues

Ain’t no sound out here tonight but the creek moanin’ through the stones and the wind draggin’ its feet like it’s tired of the road too. Death haunts me, he walkin’ close behind. Death haunts me, he know what’s on my mind. I can feel his breath every time I cross that line. I been walkin’ so long, the moon forgot my face. The stars won’t guide me, they just watch. Cold little witnesses to the man I turned into. Death haunts me, he walkin’ close behind. Death haunts me, he know what’s on my mind. I can feel his breath every time I cross that line. Death… he don’t come in a hurry, no…he likes to follow slow. He likes to sit close, close enough that I can hear him hummin’ my own tune back to me through his teeth. Death haunts me, don’t matter where I roam. Death haunts me, he call my body home. Yeah, he hums soft and low, my own last song. I asked him once, “You here for me?” He said, “I ain’t never left.”
