Hear My Black Dog Bark

Every mornin' when I come in

I can hear my black dog, boy

Every mornin' when I come in

I can hear my black dog, boy

Warnin' me that someone been hangin' around

Oh, that just 'bout to break my heart

I go home in the mornin'

My breakfast, it ain't never done

I go home in the mornin'

My breakfast, it ain't never done

Every time I get to my house, that's about the time

My little girl, she's out on the run

I don't see why

Little girl wanna treat poor Lightnin' so mean

I don't see why

Little girl wanna treat poor Lightnin' so mean

You know I can ask her for a glass of sweet milk

And I swear she will give me cream

You know everybody appetite ain't alike

In the mornin' I drinks sweet milk

And in the evenin'

I don't drink none

Now why that she don't have my breakfast done

She's out on her four-day run

Every mornin' when I go home

I can hear my black dog, boy

Every mornin' when I go home

I can hear my black dog, boy

You know it hurt me so bad

You know it 'bout to break my heart

That woman know she mistreat me

She know she done me wrong

But that's alright, one day

She comin' back home

When I go home

I can hear my black dog, boy

You know it hurt me so bad

'Til it be 'bout to bust my heart
