Let me tell you, mama, what that black dog done done to me 
Let me tell you, mama, what that black dog done done to me 
He cheated me from my regular, now he's after my used-to-be 
Black dog, black dog, you caused me to weep and moan 
Black dog, black dog, you caused me to weep and moan 
You cause me to leave my, sweet old happy home 
Black dog, black dog, you forever on my mind 
Black dog, black dog, you forever on my mind 
If you only let me see my baby one more time 
So long black dog, I'm quittin' your hard luck line 
So long black dog, I'm quittin' your hard luck line 
'Cause you got me so blue, keep 'bout to love her sometime
