Mean BlackCat Blues - Charlie Patton

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
