Haunted House Blues (01-09-24
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
