Don't bring no ghosts in the front, hurry 'em round to the backdoor! | |
This house is so haunted with dead men I can't lose | |
This house is so haunted with dead men I can't lose | |
And a sneaky old feeling gives me those haunted house blues | |
I can't sleep no more, I done lost my appetite | |
I can't sleep no more, done lost my appetite | |
'Cause my mistreating daddy hangs around me day and night | |
He moans when I'm sleeping, he wakes me at 2 a.m. | |
He moans when I'm sleeping, he wakes me at 2 a.m. | |
And he makes me swear I'll have no other man but him | |
Now I'm so worried and I'm blue all the time | |
Now I'm so worried and I'm blue all the time | |
Go tell the undertaker to fix that old coffin of mine | |
Lord, help us to get right! | |
I'm scared to stay here, I'm scared to leave this town | |
I'm scared to stay here, I'm scared to leave this town | |
But a feeling just tells me to burn this house on down | |
Tear this house on down |
Don' t bring no ghosts in the front, hurry ' em round to the backdoor! | |
This house is so haunted with dead men I can' t lose | |
This house is so haunted with dead men I can' t lose | |
And a sneaky old feeling gives me those haunted house blues | |
I can' t sleep no more, I done lost my appetite | |
I can' t sleep no more, done lost my appetite | |
' Cause my mistreating daddy hangs around me day and night | |
He moans when I' m sleeping, he wakes me at 2 a. m. | |
He moans when I' m sleeping, he wakes me at 2 a. m. | |
And he makes me swear I' ll have no other man but him | |
Now I' m so worried and I' m blue all the time | |
Now I' m so worried and I' m blue all the time | |
Go tell the undertaker to fix that old coffin of mine | |
Lord, help us to get right! | |
I' m scared to stay here, I' m scared to leave this town | |
I' m scared to stay here, I' m scared to leave this town | |
But a feeling just tells me to burn this house on down | |
Tear this house on down |
Don' t bring no ghosts in the front, hurry ' em round to the backdoor! | |
This house is so haunted with dead men I can' t lose | |
This house is so haunted with dead men I can' t lose | |
And a sneaky old feeling gives me those haunted house blues | |
I can' t sleep no more, I done lost my appetite | |
I can' t sleep no more, done lost my appetite | |
