Not the same song, but since the title is the same, I figured I might as well post it here.


BLACK DOG BLUES
As sung by Blind Blake

Let me tell you, mama, what my black dog done done to me. (2x)
He cheated me from my reg'lar; now he's after my used-to-be.

Black dog, black dog, you caused me to weep and moan. (2x)
You caused me to leave my sweet old happy home.

Black dog, black dog, you forever on my mind. (2x)
If you only let me see my baby one more time.

So long, black dog; I'm quittin' your hard-luck town. (2x)
'Cause you got the best of me; papa gonna jump down.
