Lyrics

My feets are hurtin'
My belly's hungry
Walkin' down this lonesome road
One Hundred miles I must have wandered
"till I came upon your door

I should have listened
To that omen
When that black cat crossed my road
But your mojo was all upon me
When I came upon your door

When I laid upon your pillow
I could feel your black cat bone
And when I woke up in the mornin'
All I had went out your door

And now I'm broken
Without a dollar
And I still ain't got no place to go
I wish I never ever came up
I never came upon your door
