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
