Helen Humes Cross-eyed Blues Lyrics

Cross-eyed Blues Lyrics

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
