Cross-Eyed Blues (11-26-27) - Helen Humes

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
