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
You caused me : to leave my sweet old happy home

Black dog black dog : you forever on my mind
If you only let me : see my baby one more time

So long black dog : I'm quitting you on the fly
Because you got the nerve : to leave my good woman to cry
