Lyrics Rodney Crowell – Caw Caw Blues

Heckle and Jeckle built a barbed wire nest
In a windmill derrick way out west
Scoopin up scraps down a long fence line
It was a work of art only one of its kind

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

Murder of crows, murder of crows
Two old birds make a murder of crows
Everyone knows anything goes
Ole heckle and Jeckle make a murder of crows

Catchin baby rattlesnakes two by two
Make a little pot of that rattlesnake stew
Little baby rattlesnake’s better watch out
Ole Heckle and Jeckle’re out and about

Murder of crows, murder of crows
Two old birds make a murder of crows
Everyone knows anything goes
Ole Heckle and Jeckle make a murder of crows

Scarecrow standing in a tall corn patch
Heckle and Jeckle got nary a scratch
Eatin like kings nearly all day long
Dodging that buckshot, singing that song

Caw Caw Blues, Caw Caw Blues
10’ll get you twenty if you’re countin by twos’
Barb wire palace full of magpie chicks
Ole Heckle & Jeckle steady getting their kicks

Murder of crows, murder of crows
Two old birds make a murder of crows

Daddy’s in the kitchen in his everyday shoes
Sittin down singing them Caw Caw Blues
