Here comes a couple of kids, they're two of the finest I've ever met.
You know, a lot of folks sing and they can sing great, but these two kids,
they can put a lot of humor in their singing, and they're certainly wonderful folks,
so let's make them welcome.
Salty and Maddy Holmes.

Well, I have a little song here I kind of wrote up especially as a kid.
Around Halloween, it'd be a good time to do this number.
It's called, The Ghost Song.

[F] Now on that very [C] same night,
now that [Fm] old tomcat started to [C] fight,

[F] [C]
[Fm] [C#] [C]
[F] Now you know I [C] couldn't stand there.
[F] I didn't like them cats, you know that.
[C#] [C] Didn't like them ghosts [F] either, so I looked down at my feet and I said,
feet now come [D] on do your duty and carry [C] home.
But that old [F] ghost looked up to me and [C] said,

well [C] I got you,
[F] for you the one [C] that shot
