Help me remember the title of this vintage Halloween song

September 10, 2021 8:48 AM

This song usually pops up in my usual vintage Halloween playlists, but now that I'm trying to find it, it eludes me! Has a 50s/60s crooner vibe opener, then picks up the pace a little. The opening lyrics are along the lines of "Have you ever walked by a cemetery under full moonlight", "leaves all around (on the ground?)", "didn't know it could be so scary"... then as it picks up, lyrics may include "everythings gonna be alright", "ghost rock n roll (?)".

This is a long shot, but could it be some version of "Zombie Jamboree"/"Jumbie Jamboree"?

Response by poster: Definitely not Zombie Jamoree or anything calypso, raggae, etc... very much crooner, almost rock n roll, but slow.

Best answer: Found it: "Graveyard" by Leroy Bowman and the Arrows.
