Ray Wylie Hubbard Black Dog
Old black dog when I'm gone, lord, lord
Old black dog when I'm gone
When I come back with a ten dollar bill
And it's, "Honey, where you been so long?"
My daddy, he's a gambler
He taught me how to play
Told me to bet my money
On Ace, Deuce, Jack and Tray
Old black dog when I'm gone, lord, lord
Old black dog when I'm gone
When I come back with a ten dollar bill
And it's, "Honey, where you been so long?"
Been all around Kentucky
The state of old Tennessee
Anywhere I hang my hat
It'll be home sweet home to me
Old black dog when I'm gone, lord, lord
Old black dog when I'm gone
When I come back with a ten dollar bill
And it's, "Honey, where you been so long?"
See the train a-coming
She is packing my casket, lord
Going to the graveyard
Where the grave will be my home
Old black dog when I'm gone, lord, lord
Old black dog when I'm gone
When I come back with a ten dollar bill
And it's "Honey, where you been so long?"
