The Hawk Lyrics - Iceman - Albert Collins

I remember when I was snowed in and up at old Shire town 

I'm sure the next tour take me right back through that town 

Snow was up to your shoulders man and that ain't no lie 

Chicago wasn't so cold, it would make a Polar Bear cry 

Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called The Hawk 

Now I'm gonna tell ya somethin' that'll make you let out a squawk 

Now where I live the weather's mostly warm 

We don't have to worry about no snow or if we have a storm 

But Shire town sits on the shores of a lake 

And when that hawk flaps his wings it make you shiver an' shake 

Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called The Hawk 

Man, I'm tellin' ya one thing, they just let out a squawk 

But man, you should a been there in the winter of '78' 

You couldn't catch a cab down on state and lake 

Now, you know that's bad, 'cause that's right in the heart of town 

And it was so bad the Mayor had to close the whole town down 

Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called The Hawk 

Oh man, I tell you, tell you, let out a squawk
