Why do people believe in some old sign? [Repeat: x2] To hear a hoot owl holler, someone is surely dyin' Some will break a mirror, cry bad luck for seven years [Repeat: x2] And if a black cat crosses them, they'll break right down in tears To dream of muddy water, trouble is knockin' at your door [Repeat: x2] Your man is sure to leave you, and never return no more When your man come home evil, tell you you are getting old [Repeat: x2] That's a true sign he's got someone else bakin' his jelly roll
