Black Dog Blues
When I’m gone I’m a dog, I’m a black dog babe
A black dog, when I’m gone
But when I get back with those hundred dollar bills
It’s daddy where you been so long

Oh my daddy he taught me to gamble
Taught me to bet on that deuce and trey
When I see that last deal go down,
I bet on that ol’ deuce and trey

Oh when I’m gone I’m a dog, I’m a black dog babe
A black dog, when I’m gone
But when I get back with those hundred dollar bills
It’s daddy where you been so long

Well I was born in old Kentucky
Raised in Tennessee
But any ol’ place that I hang my hat
Looks like home to me

When I’m gone I’m a dog, I’m a black dog babe
A black dog, when I’m gone
But when I get back with those hundred dollar bills
It’s daddy where you been so long


I’ve rolled those dice in Cuba
I’ve played cards in Spain
When I see that last deal go down
I jump on that ol’ freight train

When I’m gone I’m a dog, I’m a black dog babe
A black dog, when I’m gone
But when I get back with those hundred dollar bills
It’s daddy where you been so long
