THE HOUSE WHERE THE NIGHT BRINGS OUT THE DEAD
Words & Music: Jack Hunter Daves, Jr.
Way back in Grandpappy's time
The house belonged to a man named Grimes
He murdered 12 people, got sent to the chair
Folks 'round here think he's still there
When you go insane you'll remember what I said...
Stay away from the house where the night brings out the dead
A pale face looks out of the windows
and screams at night whenever the wind blows
some say they hear a phantom baby's cry
people walk fast when they pass by!
When you lose your mind you'll remember what I said...
Stay away from the house where the night brings out the dead
A big, dark house all dusty and old
on cursed ground or so I am told
with a crumbling graveyard 'round the back
with things waiting for you way down in the black
Once on a lonely October night
my friends dared me to withstand the fright
When they found me I'd screamed 'til my throat was sore
Now I'm locked up here in the psycho ward!
