lyrics

Black Cat Blues

Guitar Intro
[Full Chorus]
I got th' black cat blues…I got th' black cat blues… I got th' black cat blues…I got th' - black - cat - black cat blues… I can't win cause I lose…I got th' black cat blues…
[1] Got me a talisman…an’ a rabbit's foot…
Got 7 horseshoes…to bring me some luck…
I’m gonna knock on wood…to bring me some more…
I got 13 black cats...hangin’ round my door…
I got the black cat blues…I got the - black - cat - blues… I can’t win cause I lose…I got the black cat blues…

[2] Saw me...a deep dark shadow…jus’ yesterday…
Made myself scarce…stayin’ outta the way…
Run under a ladder…an’a mirror get trash’d…
Saw th’ paws of darkness…go right cross my path…

Chorus
I got the black cat blues…I got the - black - cat - blues… I can’t win cause I lose…I got the black cat blues…

Solos - harp

[3] Now I...stutter when I talk…my heart turn to ice…
My mind go to limbo…can’t think twice…
My knees start to shimmy…my hands start to shake…
Sky turn black as coal…th' earth began to quake…

Chorus
I got the black cat blues…I got the - black - cat - blues… I can’t win cause I lose…I got the black cat blues…

[4] Now... seven-year bad luck…when th’ mirror hit th ’floor…
Can't cross th’ street…can’t get out th’ door…
Run under a ladder…hit me square across the head…
I break out in a cold sweat…’fraid I’m droppin’ dead…

Chorus
I got the black cat blues…I got the - black - cat - blues… I can’t win cause I lose…I got the black cat blues…

Solo - guitar

[1] Got me a talisman…an’ a rabbit's foot…
I got 7 horseshoes…to bring me some luck…
I’m gonna knock on wood…to bring me some more…
I got 13 black cats...hangin’ round my door…

Chorus
I got the black cat blues…I got th' - black - cat - blues… I can’t win cause I lose…I got th' black cat blues…

[Full Chorus]
I got th' black cat blues…I got th' black cat blues… I got th' black cat blues…I got th' - black - cat - black cat blues… I can't win cause I lose…I got th' black cat blues…

I can't win cause I lose…I got th' black cat blues…
I can't win cause I'm busy losin'…I got th' black cat blues…
