[Verse 1] Somewhere in the cradle of the deep south Magnolias sway in the breeze To the lonesome sound of a Redbone Hound Howlin at the moon and the trees Theres a sad eyed boy with his guitar Cuttin his teeth on the blues Wishin on a fallin star At 127 Rose Avenue The distant moan of a midnight train Comes blowin through the night He dips his pen in tears and pain And he begins to write Bout a whippoorwill too blue to fly And the Indian he once knew Bout lost highways, and purple skies At 127 Rose Avenue [Chorus] Caretaker said as he shook his head Son to you believe in Ghosts? For a five dollar bill you can feel the chill That he felt long ago [Verse 2] So a I bought me a ticket at the front door Guess who was there inside I felt his presence through the whole tour God I swear, he was alive I saw the train, I felt the pain I heard him moaning the blues Twentynine years of memories At 127 Rose Avenue [Chorus] Caretaker said as he shook his head Son to you believe in Ghosts? For a five dollar bill you can feel the chill That he felt long ago [Outro] Another side eyed boy with his guitar Cutting his teeth on the blues Here I am wishing on a falling star At 127 Rose Avenue It aint in Nashville Its not in Montgomery 127 Rose Avenue
