Screech Owl Blues

Lyrics

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