Touch Wood

 
Raise an altar of unhewn stone
One gate of horn and one gate of bone
Touch wood
Come on touch wood
 
Black ball white ball juggle them both
Look to the one that you drop most
Touch wood
Come on touch wood
 
Chorus
Say a prayer cast a spell
One goes to heaven one goes to hell
No way of telling what’s bad from good
The only thing a soul can do and that’s touch wood
Come on touch wood
 
Black cat howling on a gravestone stump
Watch where you step and how high you jump
Touch wood
Come on touch wood
 
Midnight crossroads meet your man
John the conqueroo and glory’s hand
Touch wood
Come on touch wood
 
One thief on your left and one on your right
The only thing to do is hold on tight
And touch wood
Come on touch wood
