Caw Caw Blues

[Verse 1]

Heckle and Jeckle built a barbed wire nest

In a windmill derrick way out west

Scooping up scraps down the long fence line

It was a work of art, the only one of its kind

[Verse 2]

Way out around Lubbock as the John Crow flies

Ole Heckle and Jeckle built a sky high rise

Heckle and Jeckle, so cold jet black

You could see 'em at night in the cactus Jack

[Chorus]

Murder of crows, murder of crows

Two old birds make a murder of crows

Everyone knows that anything goes

Ol' Heckle and Jeckle make a murder of crows

[Verse 3]

Catching baby rattlesnakes two-by-two

We're gonna make a little pot of that rattlesnake stew

Little baby rattlesnakes better watch out

Ol' Heckle and Jeckle steady out and about

[Chorus]

Murder of crows, murder of crows

Two old birds make a murder of crows

Everyone knows that anything goes

Ol' Heckle and Jeckle make a murder of crows

[Verse 4]

Scarecrow standing in a tall corn patch

Heckle and Jeckle got nary a scratch

Eating like kings nearly all day long

Dodging that buckshot, singing that song

[Verse 5]

Caw Caw Blues, Caw Caw Blues

Ten'll get you twenty if you're counting by twos

Barbed wire palace full of magpie chicks

Old Heckle and Jeckle steady getting their kicks

[Chorus]

Murder of crows, murder of crows

Two old birds make a murder of crows

Everyone knows that anything goes

Ol' Heckle and Jeckle make a murder of crows

[Outro]

Daddy's in the kitchen in his everyday shoes

Sittin' down singing them Caw Caw Blues
