Witch Blues Lyrics - Young, Guitar Days - 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)
