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 Whispering Pines
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 dogs hungry stare
Well Hes 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:
Theres a room full of nicotine poets... three harmony guitars
And a shopworn tack piano
with 32 bars
And the Victrolas in the corner
spinning Alexanders Ragtime Band
And the ghost of Richard Manuel is
walking like a natural man
Hey, Hey Richard
Hey, Hey Richard
Richard wont you sing us
Tears of Rage just one more time
