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.
