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

Looking 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 I made it home

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, laying low

Down where the poor dogs go

Lick my wounds, when (I go home)

Death is spiriling down

Death is low

Black cat, black cat's gone

Gone for good, gone for long

Can't believe that he left me alone

And I hope he don't come home

Every day, every hour

Another baby's born

Going to 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

Can't believe that he left me alone

And I hope he don't come home

Beg for mercy, I'm laying 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
