Verse: D A I'll tell you a story 'bout a burglar man who went to rob a house D He creeped through the window as quietly as a mouse A Thinkin' of the money that he would steal, as under the bed he lay D He certainly saw a sight that night that made his hair turn gray Verse: D A About nine o'clock an old maid came in, "I'm so tired" she said D Thinkin' everything would be alright, she forgot to look under the bed A She pulled out her teeth, and her big glass eye, and her hair came from off'n her head D That burglar man had nineteen fits as he crawled from under the bed Verse: D A She drew a pistol from out of the drawer, and to this burglar man said D "Young man if you don't marry me, I'll blow off the top of your head" A We'll he looked at her teeth and her big glass eye, and he had no place for to scoot D So he turned to the old maid standin' by, and said "Woman, for the Lord's sake shoot"
Outro: D A Now the burglar man is dead I know, but I don't know where he's gone D Up above, or down below, I'm now thru singin' this song
