LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS lyrics - Black Cat

(Sam (Lightnin') Hopkins)



Well you're one black cat, some day you'll find your tree

Well you're one black cat, some day you'll find your tree

Then I'll hide my shoe somewhere near your sherry tree



Well I take you down in town, I paid your doctor bill

When I'm in some trouble, you're tryin' to get me killed

Well you're one black cat, some day you'll find your tree

Then I'll hide my shoe somewhere near your sherry tree



Well I took you in my home, you ate up all my bread

I left there this mornin', you tried to mess up in my bed

Well you're one black cat, some day you'll find your tree

Then I'll hide my shoe somewhere near your sherry tree



Well I woke up this mornin', the same thing on my mind

I was thinkin' 'bout you baby, you were walkin' down the line

Well you're one black cat, some day you'll find your tree

Then I'll hide my shoe somewhere near your sherry tree
