Black Dog

Album: Eternal & Lowdown

Black Dog

Well you call me a dog when I’m gone honey babe

It’s black dog when I’m gone

When I get back with a hundred dollar bill

It’s “Daddy where you been so long”

 

I was born in old Kentucky

Raised in Tennessee

Any old place I hang my hat

Looks like home to me

 

My daddy taught me to gamble

Told me to bet on the deuce and trey

When I see my last deal go down

I’m gonna bet on the old deuce and trey

 

I roll my dice in Cuba

Dealt my cards in Spain

When I hear some lonesome whistle blow

I jump on an old freight train

 

Well you call me a dog when I’m gone honey babe

It’s black dog when I’m gone

When I get back with a hundred dollar bill

It’s “Daddy where you been so long”
