Black Dog Lyrics - Jesse Winchester - Jesse Winchester

Black Dog up and sniffed his plate 

A steamin on the stove 

The kids ain't seem you home all day 

You're a gentleman born to rove 

Black Dog don't believe in sin 

Think of where the black dog's been 

Think of where he's been today 

Have you seen the black dogs teeth 

Sharp like a knife? 

Have you seen them tear upon a throat 

To take a life? 

Black Dog don't believe in sin 

Think of where the black dog's been 

Think of where he's been today

Have you seen the black dogs eyes 

Staring in the fire? 

It would not occur to him 

To question your desire 

Black Dog don't believe in sin 

Think of where the black dog's been 

Think of where he's been today 

I've always had a fear of creatures 

Crying in the dark 

And every form of evil 

Seems to bear an evil mark 

Black Dog don't believe in sin 

Think of where the black dog's been 

Think of where he's been today 

My woman lays beside me 

And my black dog's at my feet 

She keeps me from my wandering life 

And he robs me of my sleep 

Black Dog don't believe in sin 

Think of where the black dog's been 

Think of where he's been today 

I don't know the black dog's name 

When I call him, he won't come 

How'd I get this black dog 

Lord, I never wanted one 

Black Dog don't believe in sin 

Think of where the black dog's been 

Think of where he's been today
