Black Cat Bone
(Jessie Mae Hemphill / Arranged by Will Golden)
This Jessie Mae Hemphill classic rocks the house with the doors open. Are those real crickets? Played and produced in tribute to Holly Springs, Mississippi and Fat Possum Records.
I believe with my soul
my baby's got a black cat bone
tried so hard
just can't leave her no
Come on baby
what you tryin' to do
love me baby
and that other man too
Hold me baby
hold me in your arms
love me baby
till your other man comes
Bend down low
weep like a willow tree
take your bone girl
and be rid of me
My baby's got a black cat bone
