black cat blues - bill wilson (austin) lyrics

Loading...

born on friday, ’twas the 13th day
in the night in the thundering rain
ten years’ gone, jumped a boxcar south
thought i’d never see your face again
well i done walked out of this curse on a man
this number stamped on my head

fifteen years in the county sun
lord, sometimes i think i’m already dead

chorus:
hard luck right now, yeah
wailin’ these black cat blues
hard luck right now, yeah
wearin’ a striped hat
singin’ these black cat blues

georgia, she wasn’t very good to me
texas woulda turned me loose
made a run for the bushes a time or two
but the hounds made it all no use

well the warden told me, “son, you’re gonna die in here
you better turn around ‘fore it’s too late.”
fifteen years diggin’ ditches in the sun
now they’re askin’ me to play it straight
chorus:
hard luck right now, yeah
wailin’ these black cat blues
hard luck right now, yeah
wearin’ a striped hat
singin’ these black cat blues

well i was talkin’ to a fella down in number 9
“have you got a plan to get us free?”
he said, “me and 5 others tried a year ago
only one that got caught was me.”

said, “now don’t you go diggin’ down by the wall
filin’ on your cell block door
and asking such a question takes a lot of gall
my luck ain’t any better than yours.”

chorus:
hard luck right now, yeah, ahh*ah
singin’ these black cat blues

hard luck right now, yeah
wearin’ a striped hat
singin’ these black cat blues

yeah, fifteen years on the county crew
keep on singin’ these black cat blues
fifteen years on the county crew
keep on singin’ these black cat blues
fifteen years on the county crew
singin’ these black cat, hard luck, drawn out, gone down[?], thrown out, hung out, wrung out, blues…
