Cross Eyed Blues

Cross Eyed Blues - Helen Humes

Written by：Williams

Got one superstition

That's the one I really prize

Got one superstition

That's the one I really prize

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

Said a 'cross eyed man

Hateful as a man could be

Slept with his eyes open

Always looking 'cross at me

Gee but he was ugly

Eyed me every way I turned

Gee but he was ugly

Eyed me every way I turned

I could feel him looking

Lawdy how his eyes did burn

'Cross eyes make me shiver

'Cause they're so evil low and mean

'Cross eyes make me shiver

'Cause they're evil low and mean

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

If I'd see a 'cross eyed person

I was about to meet

I'd just 'cross my finger

Then

I'd walk across the street
