I just moved in my new house today |
|
Moving was hard but I got squared away |
|
When bells starting rings and chains rattled loud |
|
I knew I'd moved in a haunted house |
|
Still I made up my mind to stay |
|
Nothing was a-gonna drive me away |
|
When I seen something that give me the creeps |
|
Had one big eye and two big feet |
|
I stood right there and I did the freeze |
|
It did the stroll right up to me |
|
Made a noise with its feet that sounded like a drum |
|
Said "You gonna be here when the morning comes?" |
|
"Say yes, I'll be here when the morning comes |
|
I'll be right here, I ain't gonna run |
|
I bought this house, now I am boss |
|
Ain't no haint's gonna run me off" |
|
In my kitchen my stove was a blazing hot |
|
Coffee was a-boiling in the pot |
|
Grease had melted in my hand (pan?) |
|
I had a hunk of meat in my hand |
|
From out of space there sat a man |
|
On the hot stove with the pots and pans |
|
"Say that's hot" I began to shout |
|
He drank the hot coffee right from the spout |
|
He ate the raw meat right from my hand |
|
Drank the hot grease from the frying pan |
|
And said to me "You better run and don't be here |
|
When the morning comes" |
|
Say yes I'll be here when the morning comes |
|
I'll be right here now, I ain't gonna run |
|
I bought this house now I am boss |
|
Ain't no haint's gonna run me off. |
