Witch Blues Songtext
von Steve Forbert

VERSE
Hell ain′t got no fury
That can match your kind of scorn
You've got a lot of people
Sorta sorry you were born

VERSE
The way you treated Jim . . . yeah
Was more than I could understand
He took it sittin′ down . . . yeah
You took it way on out of hand

CHORUS #1
You're makin' lots of bad news
(You′re) spreadin′ 'round them witch blues

VERSE
When you come walkin′ in . . . yeah
I look for some good place to hide
And if I find there ain't one
I do my best to get outside


VERSE
The first time that I met you
You seemed like first-rate company
Don′t that only go to show now
How wrong a guy can sometimes be?

CHORUS #2
You're makin′ lots of bad news
Spreadin' 'round them witch blues
You′re makin′ lots of bad news
Yes, you're givin′ people witch blues

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

VERSE
You do not ride a broom, no
And you don't wear a pointed hat
But you can turn men into mice . . . yeah
You know a lot of tricks like that

VERSE
And then I′ve seen you shatter women
Just like plate glass window panes
No, I don't know where you came from
But I would bet it′s mighty strange

(REPEAT CHORUS #2)
