Intro: , , , , ,
In a thousand empty bottles⦠in a hundred burned out cars
In a house up in the Catskills⦠in all the honky-tonks and bars
All the way across the airwaves, and all the way around this land
The ghost of Richard Manuel is⦠walking like a natural man
Well last night around the campfire⦠we got high on homemade wine
We passed around the guitar⦠and tried to sing âWhispering Pinesâ
And in every sweet falsetto⦠that was more than I could stand
Was the ghost of Richard Manuel just⦠walking like a natural man
Along the keys of my piano⦠in the kick and in the snare
In getting your kicks off of parlor tricks⦠and in a hound dogâs hungry stare
Well Heâs getting frozen up in Canada, and burned in the south land
But the ghost of Richard Manuel still⦠walking like a natural man
Short Break:
Thereâs a room full of nicotine poets... three harmony guitars
And a shopworn tack piano⦠with 32 bars
And the Victrolaâs in the corner⦠spinning âAlexanderâs Ragtime Bandâ
And the ghost of Richard Manuel is⦠walking like a natural man
Hey, Hey Richard⦠Hey, Hey Richard
Richard wonât you sing us⦠âTears of Rageâ just one more time
â¦
