Jackknife/The Red Newt lyrics

[Part I: Jackknife]

[Verse 1]
I was cleanin', I was cleanin' my jackknife when you did appear
Had to fight with you, I cut off your ear
Yodelay, little darlin', don't you come here no more
Take this as a lesson, get your ear off my floor

[Verse 2]
I throwed, I throwed some sawdust where the blood puddle lie
Watched you run screamin'; I prayed you would die
Yodelay, little darlin', don't you come here no more
Take this as a warnin', get your ear off my floor

[Part II: The Red Newt]

[Verse 1]
Well, the Red Newt, he sat 'neath a wet piece of wood
Black Crow lookin' down on him, yes he was
Well, the Black Crow say to Red Newt, "Listen to me sing
Caw caw caw caw, caw caw caw caw, caw caw caw!
Caw caw caw caw, caw caw caw caw, caw caw caw!

[Verse 2]
Well, the Red Newt say to Black Crow, "You sure sound good
Oh, when you do, do-do-do-do what you do!
Oh, when you do, do-do-do-do what you do!"
[Verse 3]
Well, the Black Crow say to Red Newt, "I thank you, son
But pardon me, just what the hell do you do?
Yeah, pardon me, just what the hell do you do?"

[Verse 4]
Well, the Red Newt say to that Black Crow, "Well, I don't do much
But I don't fly around makin' the noise that you do
No, I don't fly around makin' the noise that you do"

[Bridge]
Well, the Black Crow, he started gettin' mad
And he think about the last thing for dinner he had
He looked down at that old Red Newt
And said, "I might take him home, make a Red Newt Soup"

[Verse 5]
Well, the Black Crow, he pick up the Red Newt, take him up in the sky
Say, "Now I'm gonna teach you how the crow flies!
Now I'm gonna teach you how the crow flies!"

[Verse 6]
He say, "Go ahead, you feathered pain in my neck, do what you will
Well, I don't really care much if'in I die!
No, I don't really care much if'in I die!
Well, I don't really care much if'in I die!"
