Don't bring no ghosts in the front
Hurry 'em round to the backdoor
ย
This house is so haunted with dead men I can't lose
This house is so haunted with dead men I can't lose
ย
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
ย
'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.
ย
And he makes me swear I'll have no other man but him
ย
Now I'm so worried and I'm blue all the time
Now I'm so worried and I'm blue all the time
ย
Go tell the undertaker to fix that old coffin of mine
ย
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
