The Hawk - Albert Collins

[00:00.0]The Hawk - Albert Collins
[00:08.42]I remember when I was snowed in and up at old Shire town
[00:11.97]I'm sure the next tour take me right back through that town
[00:15.63]Snow was up to your shoulders man and that ain't no lie
[00:19.23]Chicago wasn't so coldit would make a polar bear cry
[00:22.91]Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called the hawk
[00:26.61]Now I'm gonna tell ya somethin' that'll make you let out a squawk
[00:30.13]Now where I live the weather's mostly warm
[00:33.83]We don't have to worry about no snow or if we have a storm
[00:37.48]But Shire town sits on the shores of a lake
[00:40.78]And when that hawk flaps his wings it make you shiver an' shake
[00:44.72]Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called the hawk
[00:48.27]Man I'm tellin' ya one thing they just let out a squawk
[01:27.64]But man you should a been there in the winter of '78
[01:31.32]You couldn't catch a cab down on State and Lake
[01:34.47]Now you know that's bad 'cause that's right in the heart of town
[01:38.259995]And it was so bad the mayor had to close the whole town down
[01:41.81]Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called the hawk
[01:45.41]Oh man I tell you tell you let out a squawk
