I just moved in my new house today
Movin' was hard but I got squared away
When bells started ringin' and chains rattled loud
I knew I'd moved in a haunted house
Still I made up my mind to stay
Nothin' was a-gonna drive me away
When I seen somethin' that give me the creep
Had a one big eye and two big feet
I stood right still and I did the freeze
A thing came strollin' up to me
Made a noise with the feet sound like a drum
Sayin' "Don't be here when the mornin' comes"
"Say yes, I'll be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house and you know I'm boss
Ain't no haint gonna run me off"
Whoa-oh-oh
Come on in, Mr. Lee
In the kitchen my stove was blazin' hot
Coffee was a-boilin' in the pot
The grease had melted in my pan
I had a hunk of meat right in my hand
From outer 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 fryin' pan
He said to me, "Well, you better run
And don't be here when the mornin' comes"
"Say, yes, I'll be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house and you know I'm boss
Ain't no haint gonna run me off"
Whoa-oh
Lord, have mercy
Buddy Miller
