Black Dog

(album: Eternal And Lowdown - 2001)

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"
