Black Cat

Chris Cornell


Black cat, black cat's gone 
Gone for good, gone for long 
Don't believe that he left me alone 
And I hope he don't come home 
Looking back, the black (past) 
Trust him once, lost my map 
Trust again to save my bones 
And I never made it back 

Black cat, black cat's gone 
Gone for good, gone for long 
Don't believe I made it home 
And I hope he don't come home 

Never had anything 
Never lose and I never win 
Lost my only love, never get her back 
There's a black cat on my back 

Black cat, black cat's gone 
Gone for good, gone for long 
Don't believe that he left me alone 
And I hope he don't come home 

Beg for mercy, laying low 
Down where the poor dogs go 
Lick my wounds, when (I go home) 
Death is spiriling down 
Death is low 

Black cat, black cat's gone 
Gone for good, gone for long 
Can't believe that he left me alone 
And I hope he don't come home 

Every day, every hour 
Another baby's born 
Going to hang my head, (dry and blind) 
'Til the black cat drags it home 

Black cat, black cat's gone 
Gone for good, gone for long 
Can't believe that he left me alone 
And I hope he don't come home 

Beg for mercy, I'm laying low 
Down where the poor dogs go 
Lick my wounds, when I grow old 
The sun is down and gone 
The sun is down 
The sun is down and gone 
The sun is down 
The sun is down and gone 
The sun is down 
The sun is down and gone 

Black cat 

The sun is down and gone 

Hope he don't come home 
I hope he don't come home 
I hope he don't come home
