| Squirrel Nut Zippers – Ghost Of Stephen Foster Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is about the American songwriter Stephen Foster. He's known for writing "Oh! Susana!" and "Camptown Races", the latter being referenced in this song with the lines "Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day no, no, no". (The famous chorus of Stephen Foster's song goes "De Camptown ladies sing dis song -- Doo-dah! doo-dah! De Camptown racetrack five miles long -- Oh! doo-dah day!") Mr. Foster's body was found outside of a hotel in Manhattan after his wife and children left him. Anyways, this is an awesome song :) |
