Black Dog Blues Lyrics

Tell you a story 'bout drinking booze

Y'all might know it it's the black dog blues

Feel it comin' on every day 'round noon

Can't get into that goon too soon

Well I lost woman and I lost my friends

Lost my wheels and I lost weekends

Lost my money and I lost my job

'Cause I like to drink with that Black Dog

Black dog don't like me to smile

Happiness is not his style

When you see my teeth and hear me growl

You know black dog is on the prowl

I tried to loose him but he tracks me down

So I keep on drinking and hope he'll drown

But it don't matter how much I pour in

"Cause that damn black dog has learned to swim

Well I lost woman and I lost my friends

Lost my wheels and I lost weekends

Lost my money and I lost my job

'Cause I like to drink with that Black Dog

There's no happy end to my sad sad song

It just ain't right for life to feel so wrong

Don't drown your troubles by drinking booze

Or you'll be singing these black dog blues

Well I lost woman and I lost my friends

Lost my wheels and I lost weekends

Lost my money and I lost my job

'Cause I like to drink with that Black Dog
