Black Cat Bone

"Hey, Albert!"

"Yeah, Johnny, what's happening, man?"

"What's going on, man?"

"Oh man, it's all right"

"Tell me something, Albert: what ever happened to Hop Wilson, man?"

"Well, Hop left us, man"

"He did, Albert"

"Boy he sure played that guitar over at the Red Lily Cube"

"Yeah he layed that steel in his lap, he'd be gettin' down"

"I used to like the way he said"

I believe

My baby got a black cat bone, oh yeah, yeah

I believe

My baby got a black cat bone

Seems like everything I do

Seems like I do is wrong

You see I tried so hard

To get along with that woman of mine

You see I tried real hard, y'all

To get along with that woman of mine, yeah, yeah

That seems like the harder I tried

The more she walked around cheatin' and lyin', oh

Yeah, she did

(Collins on vocals)

I walked down from Dallas, Texas

Down to Wichita Falls

I got to thinkin' about that big-legged woman

We were no walkin' on

I believe

My baby got a black cat bone

Just like everything I do

Everything I do is wrong

Ha, play it Albert!

Yeah!

(Solo by Collins)

(Copeland solo)

(Johnny and Albert vocals together)

I went all the way from Dallas

Down to Wichita Falls

Got to thinkin' about my big-legged woman

We were no walkin' on

I believe

Baby's got a black cat bone, yeah

Seem like everything I do

Seem like I do is wrong

(Dual solo)

I believe

My baby got a black cat bone

I believe

My baby got a black cat bone

Seem like everything I do

Seem like I do is wrong
