Screech Owl Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When a hog makes a bed, you know the storm is due When a hog makes a bed, you know the storm is due When a screech owl hollers, mean bad luck for you [Verse 2] Screech owl hollered this mornin′, twice in front of my back door Screech owl hollered this mornin′, twice in front of my back door I knew when he hollered, bad luck comin' back once more [Verse 3] I got a taxi, begged the driver, "show me some speed" I got a taxi, begged the driver, "show me some speed" Screech owl brought me bad luck, money′s what my baby needs [Verse 4] I called all over town, tryin' to find that good brown of mine I called all over town, tryin' to find that good brown of mine He called me from the station, said, "fifty dollars was my fine" [Verse 5] When I got to the station, bad luck was waitin' there too When I got to the station, bad luck was waitin' there too Saying they need more money and "we′ve got a warrant for you"
