Black cat, black cat’s gone Gone for good, gone for long Don’t believe that he left me alone And I hope he don’t come home
Lookin’ back, the black past Trust him once, lost my map Trust again to save my bones And I never made it back
Black cat, black cat’s gone Gone for good, gone for long Don’t believe that he left me alone And I hope he don’t come home
Never had anything Never lose and I never win Lost my only love, never get her back There’s a black cat on my back
Black cat, black cat’s gone Gone for good, gone for long Don’t believe that he left me alone And I hope he don’t come home
Beg for mercy, layin’ low Down where the poor dogs go Lick my wounds, when I go home Death is spiralin’ down Death is low
Black cat, black cat’s gone Gone for good, gone for long Don’t believe that he left me alone And I hope he don’t come home
Every day, every hour Another baby’s born Gonna hang my head, dry and blind ‘Til the black cat drags it home
Black cat, black cat’s gone Gone for good, gone for long Don’t believe that he left me alone And I hope he don’t come home
Beg for mercy, I’m layin’ low Down where the poor dogs go Lick my wounds, when I grow old The sun is down and gone The sun is down The sun is down and gone The sun is down The sun is down and gone The sun is down The sun is down and gone
Black cat The sun is down and gone Hope he don’t come home I hope he don’t come home I hope he don’t come home
