Charley Patton — Mean Black Cat Blues

It's a mean black cat lord a clawing on my door It's a mean black cat lord a clawing on my door I'm going down to Louisiana where I won't hear him whine no more It's a mean black cat lord a all around my bed It's a mean black cat lord a all around my bed I'm gonna get up some morning kill that black cat dead It's a mean black cat lord a lord its wearing my cloths It's a mean black cat lord a I mean its wearing my cloths Just you put him on my levee let that black go First time I met you I said you was a crook First time I met you said you was a crook You got a new way of loving where ain't in no book Next time I met you know I made a hit Next time I met you know I made a hit But got a new way of loving where it just won't quit
