Jinx Blues

Well, the jinx on me, I can't see the reason why

Well, the jinx on me, I can't see the reason why

But seem like these jinx sure oughta pass me by

That landlady come 'round my door this mornin', she began to sweep

She said, "Casey Bill, you'll have to find you some other place to sleep"

So the jinx on me, I can't see the reason why

And seem like these jinx sure oughta pass me by

Well, well, I coudn't sleep, I had no place to lay down

Well, I went to a railroad boxcar on the edge of town

So the jinx on me, I can't see the reason why

Seem like these jinx sure oughta pass me by

Well, well, I had it in my mind, I'd make this boxcar my home

But when I got there, freight train had taken this boxcar and gone

So the jinx on me, I can't see the reason why

Seem like these jinx sure oughta pass me by

Well, well, the only way I got my breakfast, I had to beat that garbage man

But when I got there this mornin', he had moved the garbage can

So the jinx on me, I can't see the reason why

But seem like these jinx sure oughta pass me by
