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
