MAGGIE HOLLAND: BLACK CAT

Black cat up and sniffs her plate
A-steaming on the stove,
I haven't seen you're home all day,
You're a treacher born to rove.
Black cat don't believe in sin,
Think of where the black cat's been,
Think of where she's been today.


Have you seen the black cat's eyes
Staring in the fire?
It would not occur to her
To question my desire.
Black cat don't believe in sin,
Think of where the black cat's been,
Think of where she's been today.


Have you seen her closing teeth
Sharp like a knife?
Have you seen them tear upon a throat
To take a life?
Black cat don't believe in sin,
Think of where the black cat's been,
Think of where she's been today.


My husband lies beside me,
The black cat at my feet,
He keeps me from my wandering
And she robs me of my sleep.
Black cat don't believe in sin,
Think of where the black cat's been,
Think of where she's been today.


I don't know the black cat's name,
If I call her, she don't come.
How'd I get this black cat,
I never wanted one.
Black cat don't believe in sin,
Think of where the black cat's been,
Think of where she's been today.

BLACK DOG

Black Dog up and sniffed his plate
A steamin on the stove
The kids ain't seem you home all day
You're a gentleman born to rove
Black Dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

Have you seen the black dogs teeth
Sharp like a knife?
Have you seen them tear upon a throat
To take a life?
Black Dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

Have you seen the black dogs eyes
Staring in the fire?
It would not occur to him
To question your desire
Black Dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

I've always had a fear of creatures
Crying in the dark
And every form of evil
Seems to bear an evil mark
Black Dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

My woman lays beside me
And my black dog's at my feet
She keeps me from my wandering life
And he robs me of my sleep
Black Dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today

I don't know the black dog's name
When I call him, he won't come
How'd I get this black dog
Lord, I never wanted one
Black Dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today
