"Black Dog Blues"

BLACK DOG BLUES by Russell Morris

Verse 1:
Little honeys in the kitchen where she's cooking up a storm
My no good brother-in-law's out on the porch
My sister of mine well she's long over due
And I'm in this back room with the black dog blues

Verse 2:
Well the car won't start so it's sitting in the drive
So darn hot well I'm barely alive
Ain't got no beer, so I don't know what I'll do
'Cause I'm in this back room with the black dog blues

Chorus:
I got the low down, spell bound, let down, unsound,
underground, run down, by the hell hound black dog blues
I got the all pain, no gain, hard rain, no brain, insane,
Novacaine, ball and chain black dog blues

Verse 3:
Well someone's got it in for me, they're telling dirty lies
I don't ever listen, I got troubles up to my eyes
Sleeping in a concrete box, holes in my shoes
And walking in the rain with the black dog blues

Chorus:
I got the low down, spell bound, let down, unsound,
underground, run down, by the hell hound black dog blues
I got the all pain, no gain, hard rain, no brain, insane,
Novacaine, ball and chain black dog blues

Verse 4:
Well the house is on fire and I'm burning inside
Ain't got no work 'cause there's no work to find
Sitting here alone, I got nothing to do
And I'm in this back room with these black dog blues
Ooo hoo eee ya... Haa hoo eee ya

Outro:
I might just scratch a while
Oww oww oww oww oww oww oww oww oww
