It’s a mean black cat been

Sratchin' round my do'

Yes, there’s a mean black cat been

Scratchin' round my do'

But if I catch him scratchin'

He ain’t gon' scratch no mo'

Now this black cat is evil

He rambles late at night

Yes, this black cat is evil

He rambles late at night

You know he don’t mean me no good

He won’t treat nobody right

This black cat has been ramblin'

He been scratchin' all night long

This black cat been ramblin'

He been scratchin' all night long

When I come home last night

I found my baby gone

'Play it, now'

(harmonica & piano to end)
