Black cat, black cat's gone   Gone for good, gone for long   Don't believe that he left me alone   And I hope he don't come home   Looking back, the black (past)   Trust him once, lost my map   Trust again to save my bones   And I never made it back      Black cat, black cat's gone   Gone for good, gone for long   Don't believe I made it home   And I hope he don't come home      Never had anything   Never lose and I never win   Lost my only love, never get her back   There's a black cat on my back      Black cat, black cat's gone   Gone for good, gone for long   Don't believe that he left me alone   And I hope he don't come home      Beg for mercy, laying low   Down where the poor dogs go   Lick my wounds, when (I go home)   Death is spiriling down   Death is low      Black cat, black cat's gone   Gone for good, gone for long   Can't believe that he left me alone   And I hope he don't come home      Every day, every hour   Another baby's born   Going to hang my head, (dry and blind)   'til the black cat drags it home      Black cat, black cat's gone   Gone for good, gone for long   Can't believe that he left me alone   And I hope he don't come home      Beg for mercy, I'm laying low   Down where the poor dogs go   Lick my wounds, when I grow old   The sun is down and gone   The sun is down   The sun is down and gone   The sun is down   The sun is down and gone   The sun is down   The sun is down and gone      Black cat      The sun is down and gone      Hope he don't come home   I hope he don't come home   I hope he don't come home
