Witch Blues - Steve Forbert

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

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

You’re makin' lots of bad news

(You're) spreadin' 'round them witch blues

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

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?

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)

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

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)
