Old Black Cat Blues (Jinx Blues)

I believe that I got those 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

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 man no good

Yes this black cat blues mama don't mean no one man no good

Said all my friends done forgot me,

everybody's down on me in my neighbourhood

Lord some folks said blues and trouble

nothing but evil running across your mind

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

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
