With the news being Ebola all the time, I decided to listen to a Lightnin' Hopkins CD

during my drive time. One cut really caught my attention, "Black Ghost Blues" here's the lyrics modified by me- Oh Lightnin' don't be the black ghost haunting me!!

Ebola, Ebola, please stay away from my door
Ebola, Ebola, will you please stay away from my door

Yeah you know you worry po' Lightnin' so now, I just can't sleep no more

Yeah you know I go to dreaming first night, Ebola is all po' Lightnin' can see
I go to dreaming first night, Ebola is all po' Lightnin' can see

You know that's why I begin to wonder why you keeps on worryin' me

Ebola is a picture, and the Ebola is a shadow too
Whoa Ebola is a picture, and the Ebola is a shadow too

You just can see him, but you can't hear him talkin'
Ain't nothin' else that a Ebola can do

Ebola Blues!
