"Scary Stories" lyrics - TONY JOE WHITE

[Intro:]
Mmmmmhmmmm

It was a dark stormy night, and the rain beat on a tin roof
A dark stormy night and the rain beat on a tin roof
We were telling scary stories
And the hane was on the loose

It was cold outside till you moved closer to the fire
The wind was howling outside, you move closer to the fire
And I heard somebody whisper
"Gonna be a real scary night"

They would warn about the monkey paw
And rawhide buddy bones
Then someone had the nerve to tell about
Their old hag in the swamp
Oh a dark stormy night and the rain beat on a tin roof
We were telling scary stories
And the hane was on the loose

And they came scratching at the door
And they tapping on the window pane
Scratching on the door and tapping on the window pane
And I heard somebody whisper "please don't tell that one again"

[Outro:]
Ahhh, yeah
