Haunted House Blues

Lyrics

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
