Lyrics

~ HEAVY SHOES (The Ballad Of Frankenstein) ~
Words & Music by Grayson Hugh

Frankenstein, he grows up
put some medicine in his cup
and he drank it all down
only threw a little on the ground

Frankenstein, he’s the one
and he don’t even have a gun
hope the villagers calm down
tryin’ to tell ‘em don’t make a sound

Frankenstein here he comes
got the villagers on the run
he’s so hideous and tall
he’s the scariest of ‘em all

Frankenstein, he’s the one
when you see him you will run
Frankenstein he got the blues
and heavy shoes

Frankenstein he got the blues
he keeps wearin’ heavy shoes

His head was fastened with seven screws
his hair secured with seven glues
he roams the world and the seven seas
looking for his destiny

He got no future he can choose
no luck at all that he can lose
he wears a ragged old green sweater
they couldn’t find him nothin’ better

Frankenstein he keeps on walkin’
and listens to the people talkin’
hides in the daytime when he can
at night he wanders on through the land
he got the blues
wearin’ heavy shoes
