REFRAIN: Old black dog when I'm gone, Lord, Lord,
Old black dog when I'm gone
When I come back with a ten dollar bill, and it's,
"Honey, where you been so long?"
My Daddy, he's a gambler
He taught me how to play
Told me to bet my money on
Ace, deuce, jack and trey
REFRAIN: Old black dog when I'm gone, Lord, Lord,
Old black dog when I'm gone
When I come back with a ten dollar bill, and it's,
"Honey, where you been so long?"
SOLO
Been all around Kentucky
The state of poor Tennessee
Anywhere I hang my hat it'll be
Home sweet home to me
REFRAIN: Old black dog when I'm gone Lord, Lord,
Old black dog when I'm gone
When I come back with a ten dollar bill, and it's,
"Honey, where you been so long?"
SOLO
See the train a-coming
She's packing my casket a-low
Going to the graveyard, where the
Grave will be my home
REFRAIN: Old black dog when I'm gone, Lord, Lord,
Old black dog when I'm gone
When I come back with a ten dollar bill, and it's,
"Honey, where you been so long?"
SOLO
