Old Black Dog by Dick Justice

Old Black Dog - Dick Justice; C position, standard tuning.

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?"
