About This Song


Crooked Man is a bluesy song where I tried to get it a little Tom Waits-ee! It leans a little too a jazzy feel and blues. But the lyrics for me are important in this one.

I like the vibe, not too jazzy.
I the US we might call this Swamp Pop.

A lot to your lyrics.
OK in my book, it holds together well.

Crooked Man

There was a man with a crooked eye
who had a crooked soul
Said the man how far you willin
To wander and to roam
Said the woman to the man
Who had a crooked soul
I’ll be willing to bet
That you already know

And he said dum dum da dee doo I aint through with you

There was a man with a crooked eye
Who had a crooked frown
Said it's just gone ten
Won’t don't we have another round
Said the boy to the man
sho had a crooked frown
Well sobriety's a bitch,
But I've been lost and I'll be found

And he said dum dum da dee doo I aint through with you

There was a man with a crooked eye
Who had a crooked charm
Said it's been twenty years,
It can't do you any harm,
Said the woman to the man
Who had a crooked charm
I don't need the shit no more,
But she be glancing at her arms

BRIDGE
There's a crooked man and he walks a crooked mile
Deals a crooked hand and devises all our trials,
So if you see that crooked man along a crooked mile
Be sure to give him my worst and give him a little crooked smile

There was a man with a crooked eye
Who had a crooked plan
Said man you like God
You got the power in your hands
Said the suit to the man
who had a crooked plan
Well it’s my consitution
And your damn right I am, and he said

There was man on his death bed
Who had a crooked child
Said boy you are damned
You'll be nothing in your life,

Said the boy to the man,
Who had a crooked eye,
What you see is what you get,
and you’ll be gone in a while
