"Black Dog" lyrics - RAY WYLIE HUBBARD

[Chorus:]
Well now you call me a dog when I'm gone, honey babe
It's "Black dog" when I'm gone
When I get back with a hundred dollar bill
It's "Daddy, where you been so long?"

I was born in old Kentucky
I was raised in Tennessee
Any old place that I hang by hat
Looks like home to me

[Chorus:]
Well now you call me a dog when I'm gone, honey babe
It's "Black dog" when I'm gone
When I get back with a hundred dollar bill
It's "Daddy, where you been so long?"

My daddy, he taught me to gamble
Told me to bet on the deuce and trey
When I see my last deal go down
I'm gonna bet on the old deuce and trey

[Chorus:]
Well now you call me a dog when I'm gone, honey babe
It's "Black dog" when I'm gone
When I get back with a hundred dollar bill
It's "Daddy, where you been so long?"

I rolled my dice in Cuba
Dealt my cards in Spain
When I hear some lonesome whistle blow
I jump on an old freight train

[Chorus:]
Well now you call me a dog when I'm gone, honey babe
It's "Black dog" when I'm gone
When I get back with a hundred dollar bill
It's "Daddy, where you been so long?"

[Chorus:]
Well now you call me a dog when I'm gone, honey babe
It's "Black dog" when I'm gone
When I get back with a hundred dollar bill
It's "Daddy, where you been so long?"
