Cross-Eyed Blues (Album Version)

Helen Humes
Album : Slide Guitar Bottles, Knives & Steel Vol. 2

Got one superstition, that's the one I really prize (2x)
I don't like nobody, who's got a pair of mean cross eyes
Said a cross-eyed man, hateful as a man could be (2x)
Slept with his eyes open, always lookin' cross at me
Gee but he was ugly, eyed me every way I turned (2x)
I could feel him lookin', Lawdy how his eyes did burn
Cross eyes make me shiver, cause they're so evil, low and mean (2x)
Hateful as the devil, weariest eyes I've ever seen
Folks who's got them cross eyes, things they see in vain
Folks who's got them cross eyes, things they see is always wrong
That's why me and cross eyes never gonna get along
If I'd see a cross-eyed person, I was about to meet (2x)
I'd just cross my finger, then I'd walk across the street
