Mean Black Cat Blues - Charley Patton

It's a mean black cat Lord

Clawing on my door

It's a mean black cat Lord

Clawing on my door

I'm going down to Louisiana

Where I won't no more

It's a mean black cat Lord

All around my bed

It's a mean black cat Lord

All around my bed

I'm gonna get up some morning

Kill that black cat dead

It's a mean black cat Lord

Lord it's wearing my cloths

It's a mean black cat Lord

I mean it's wearing my cloths

Just you put him on my levee

Let that black get 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 loving

Where ain't in no book

Next time I met you

You know I made a hit

Next time I met you

You know I made a hit

But got a new way of loving

Where it just won't quit
