Thinking about Mobile Homes. Prompted by Karen aka the Super Mystic Chicken Head , and her ambitious
SHUCKTOWN TRAILER PARK Saga.
Ghost in the Trailer
I all started back when I turned 18,
My ma, my wife, our six kids and me
Moved into a nice, used doublewide
It was blue and white, bout a hundred feet long,
With tires on the roof, flamingos on the lawn,
And genuine simulated wood paneling on the inside.
Well when you move into a trailer park
You hear odd things when it gets dark
Hollering, screaming and cursing ain't nothing weird
But one night I heard a really strange noise,
So I crept down the hall to check on the boys
And what I seen scared me something fierce.
There on the naugahyde couch he sat,
A shadowy figure in a Mack Truck hat
It was a ghost and he was drinking all my beer!
He weren't wearing no sheet, just a pair of jeans,
An old wifebeater with greasy stains
I screamed like a girl and he just disappeared
Chorus
There’s a ghost in the trailer, we got a haunted mobile home!
And that redneck apparition will not leave us alone.
He’s got a chain on his wallet, and he’s rattlin’ it loud
There’s a ghost in the trailer, look out!
Well I tore into the bedroom and slammed the door shut,
Then pretty soon the sun came up
I told my wife what happened but she just shook her head.
And to tell the truth I’d had a drink or three,
And the stress at the job been getting to me
But just to be safe I put a gun rack over the bed.
A neighbor stopped by later that day,
He said the previous tenant had passed away.
He was killed working on a Camaro in the front yard.
The hood fell and gave his head a smack,
He died but they say he still comes back
And when the moon is full he tries to start that car.
Well that same night about quarter to ten,
We was watching Dukes of Hazzard on TNN
And we heard a blood curdling scream coming from on the lawn.
We ran out onto the trailer lot,
And that Camaro was levitating right off the blocks
With that ghost in the driver’s seat yelling “Yee-haw!!!â€
Chorus
There’s a ghost in the trailer, we got a haunted mobile home!
And that redneck apparition will not leave us alone.
He got Skynyrd on the radio, and he cranked it up real loud
There’s a ghost in the trailer, look out!
Things got bad and soon got worse
We were stuck with this paranormal curse
He would wake us up at night yelling boo-ya’ll.
He moved things around to cause a scare,
Made a tin of Skoal float through the air
And we could hear footsteps line-dancing down the hall.
Well I called the cops and they just laughed,
Then a friend from work found an online chat
Told me bout a site called
trailerghost.com There were stories and tips, all kinds of advice,
I’m telling you that website saved our lives
We sent that ghost back into the great beyond.
So listen to me, don’t make no mistake.
If you feel your trailer start to shake
Run to the window and take a look outside.
If there’s no tornado to be found,
And you start to hear a strange moaning sound
You might have a ghost in your doublewide!
Chorus
There’s a ghost in the trailer, you got a haunted mobile home!
And that redneck apparition will not leave you alone.
If the walls commence to moving, and blood starts dripping out
You got a ghost in the trailer, look out!
