I just moved in my new house today Moving was hard but I got squared away Bells started ringing and chains rattled loud I knew I'd done moved in a haunted house Still I made up my mind to stay And nothing was gonna drive me away Till I seen something that gave me the creeps It had a one big eye and two big feet I stood right still and I did the freeze And it did stroll right up to me Made a noise with his feet that sounded like a drum Said, "Don't you be here when morning comes" Say if I be here when morning comes I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run 'Cause I bought this house and you know I'm boss And ain't no haunt gonna run me off In the kitchen the stove was a blazing hot The coffee was a boiling in the old pot Oh the grease had melted in my pan I had a hunk of meat in my hand He ate the raw meat right from my hand Then he drank all the grease from the frying pan Said to me, "Boy, you better run And don't you be here when morning comes" Say if I be here when morning comes I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run 'Cause I bought this house now you know I'm boss And ain't no haunt like you's gonna run me off
