| 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. |
