Black Cat Blues

I had a dream last night

God knows a black cat had crossed my trail

I had a dream last night

God knows a black cat had crossed my trail

You know I don't want you to

Sweep me with no broom

'Cause I'm afraid I might go to jail

When my right-hand itch

People, you know I'm gettin' money for sure

You know when my right-hand itch

People, I'm gettin' money for sure

You know when my

Left eye get to jumpin'

Somebody's just got to go

I went home last night

I lay down 'cross my bed

I woke up this mornin', God knows

Broken, hungry too; I said, oh

Lord, this black cat have crossed my dream

You know, sometime I wonder, B.G

What in the world's gonna happen to me

Well, I went down to the cemetery

Got down on my bended knees

I asked the good Lord above

To take this spell off of me and I said, "Whoa"

You know a black cat have crossed my dream

You know, I begin to wonder, B.G

What in the world is gonna happen to me?
