Am   Am* Am
Am   Am* Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am                                         Am* Am
Heckle and Jeckle built a barbed wire nest,
Am                                Am* Am
In a windmill derrick way out west,
Am                                         Am* Am
Scooping up scr*ps down the long fence line,
Am                                            Am* Am
It was a work of art, the only one of its kind.
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                                            Am* Am
Way out around Lubbock as the John Crow flies,
Am                                          Am* Am
Ole Heckle and Jeckle built a sky high rise,
Am                                   Am* Am
Heckle and Jeckle, so cold jet black,
Am
You could see 'em at night in the cactus Jack.
 
 
[Chorus]
D7
Murder of crows, murder of crows,
D7
Two old birds make a murder of crows,
C                   D7
Everyone knows that anything goes,
    Am                       Am*       Am
Ol' Heckle and Jeckle make a murder of crows.
 
 
[Interlude]
Am  Am* Am

Am  Am* Am
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am                                     Am*  Am
Catching baby rattlesnakes two-by-two,
            Am                                        Am*  Am
We're gonna make a little pot of that rattlesnake stew,
Am                                        Am*  Am
Little baby rattlesnakes better watch out,
Am
Ol' Heckle and Jeckle steady out and about.
 
 
[Chorus]
D7
Murder of crows, murder of crows,
D7
Two old birds make a murder of crows,
C                   D7
Everyone knows that anything goes,
    Am                       Am*       Am
Ol' Heckle and Jeckle make a murder of crows.

[Verse 4]
Am                                     Am*  Am
Scarecrow standing in a tall corn patch,
Am                                     Am*  Am
Heckle and Jeckle got nary a scratch,
Am                                     Am*  Am
Eating like kings nearly all day long,
Am
Dodging that buckshot, singing that song.
 
 
[Verse 5]
Am
Caw Caw Blues, Caw Caw Blues,
Am
Ten'll get you twenty if you're counting by twos,
Am
Barbed wire palace full of magpie chicks,
Am
Old Heckle and Jeckle steady getting their kicks.
 
 
[Chorus]
D7
Murder of crows, murder of crows,
D7
Two old birds make a murder of crows,
C                   D7
Everyone knows that anything goes,
    Am                       Am*       Am
Ol' Heckle and Jeckle make a murder of crows.
 
 
[Outro]
Am  Am* Am   Am Am* Am
Ooh . . . ,
Am  Am* Am   Am Am* Am
Ooh . . . ,
Am                                          Am* Am
Daddy's in the kitchen in his everyday shoes
Am                                Am
Sittin' down singing them Caw Caw Blues.
