Mean Black Cat Blues Lyrics

Charley Patton Mean Black Cat Blues

It's a mean black cat lord a clawing on my door
It's a mean black cat lord a clawing on my door
I'm going down to Louisiana where I won't ____ ____ no more

It's a mean black cat lord a all around my bed
It's a mean black cat lord a all around my bed
I'm gonna get up some morning kill that black cat dead

It's a mean black cat lord a lord its wearing my cloths
It's a mean black cat lord a I mean its wearing my cloths
Just you put him on my levee let that black go

First time I met you I said you was a crook
First time I met you said you was a crook
You got a new way of loving where ain't in no book

Next time I met you know I made a hit
Next time I met you know I made a hit
But got a new way of loving where it just won't quit
