A black cat's full of trouble
And i know he has nine lives.
A black cat's full of trouble
And i know he has nine lives.
But mama 's troubled now
Because a black cat never dies.
When i woke up this morning,
And a black cat 's hangin' 'round my door.
When i woke up this morning,
And a black cat 's hangin' 'round my door.
He's the cause of my mense,
Not comin' back to me anymore.
Now if you want to keep your man,
Get a dog to watch night and day.
Now if you want to keep your man,
Get a dog to watch night and day.
That's the only thing to do,
To keep that mean black cat away.
Some women like a yellow,
But i don't want no man to cry.
Some women like a yellow,
But i don't want no man to cry.
I hope that mistreatin' black cat,
Will stay 'way from my house tonight
