Lyric Black Cat Blues (1927)
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.
