Cross Eyed Blues

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

Had a cross-eyed man, hateful as a man could be
Had a cross-eyed man, hateful as a man could be
Slept with his eyes open, always lookin' 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 lookin', Lordy 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, queerest eyes I've ever seen

Folks who got them cross-eyes, says they see is bad
Folks who got them cross-eyes, thinks they see is always wrong
That's why me and cross-eyed never gonna get along

If I see a cross-eyed person, I was about to meet
If I see a cross-eyed person, I was about to meet
I'd just cross my fingers, then I'd walk across the street
