'Cause my left eye is jumping,
And my flesh begins to crawl,
I said my left eye is jumping,
And my flesh begins to crawl,
You can bet my last dollar
There's another mule kickin' in my stall.
Oh, I ain't gonna tell you no more,
I said oh, I ain't gonna tell you no more,
Stay away from my window,
Don't you knock at my door.
I'd rather be a catfish swimming in the deep blue,
Lodged beneath a submarine, behind a floating boat,
I'd rather be a catfish,
Swimming in the deep blue sea,
Than to stay in Texas, let 'em try to mistreat me.
Oh, I ain't gonna tell you no more,
I said oh, I ain't gonna tell you no more,
Stay away from my window,
Don't you knock at my door.
It's a mean black snake that's carried me this gate,
Taught me my mistake, treated me hard to take,
It's a mean black snake that's doing me this way.
If I ever go back south, I'm going back there to stay.
