Is this the song you're after? I think I posted a different version (by Dick Justice) quite recently.

BLACK DOG BLUES - Blind Blake c. March 1927

Let me tell you mama, what my black dog done done to me.
Let me tell you mama, what my black dog done done to me.
He chased me from my regular, now he's after my used to be.

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

Black dog, black dog, you're forever on my mind.
Black dog, black dog, you're forever on my mind.
If you'll only let me see my baby one more time.

So long, black dog, I'm quittin' your hard luck town.
So long, black dog, I'm quittin' your hard luck town.
`Cause you've got the best dog, leavin' papa poodle to frown.
