Kokomo Arnold Old Black Cat Blues
I believe : that I got those black cat blues
Lord if I win on Friday : please Saturday night I'm sure
to lose
Yes the black cat blues mama : ain't nothing but a
doggone heart disease
Said I was broke and disgusted : I didn't have no money
for Christmas Eve
Yes this black cat blues mama : don't mean no one nar' no
good
Said all my friends done forgot me : everybody's down on
me in my neighborhood
Lord some folks said blues and trouble nothing : but evil
running across your mind
When you get to setting down thinking : about the black
gal treated you so nice and kind
Oh if the black cat blues was money : I would be rich as
Henry Ford
Lord if the black cat blues don't leave me mama : Lord
I've got to get further down the road
