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
