[Guitar intro] [Acoustic] [Verse 1] Out in the desert when the moon's shining bright There rides old Jack on his horse in the night His spurs made of silver, they jingle and glow And his laugh echoes soft where the tumbleweed grows [build up] [Chorus] He's Ghostly Jack, the friendliest phantom around His horse leaves no tracks on the dusty ground He tips his hat to the ladies in town That's Ghostly Jack, the nicest spook to be found [Verse 2] He stopped at the saloon just the other night Made the piano play without anyone in sight Bought rounds for the cowboys, though they shook in their boots Then taught them line dancing in their dusty suits [Chorus] He's Ghostly Jack, the friendliest phantom around His horse leaves no tracks on the dusty ground He tips his hat to the ladies in town That's Ghostly Jack, the nicest spook to be found [Bridge] Some say he's scary But that ain't quite true He's just a cowboy Who rides through the blue With a smile on his face And a "Howdy!" or two [Solo] [Chorus] He's Ghostly Jack, the friendliest phantom around His horse leaves no tracks on the dusty ground He tips his hat to the ladies in town That's Ghostly Jack, the nicest spook to be found [Verse 3] He helps lost cattle find their way back home Guides weary travelers who're out there alone His campfire stories make the coyotes grin As he strums his guitar in the desert wind [build up] [Chorus] He's Ghostly Jack, the friendliest phantom around His horse leaves no tracks on the dusty ground He tips his hat to the ladies in town That's Ghostly Jack, the nicest spook to be found [Outro] So if you're out riding on a cold desert night And see a pale cowboy in the pale moonlight Just tip your hat and give him a wave 'Cause Ghostly Jack's just looking to make a new friend (Yee-haw!)
