[Verse 1]
C
Daddy went off and joined the war

Everyone I love, it leaves a sore

[Chorus]
      F
I'm a black cat, mama
G                        C
I don't know what to do
         F
If you cross my path,
G                         C
You better be running too

[Verse 2]
C
I wound up on the kitchen floor

I drink more beer than any man before

[Chorus]
      F
I'm a black cat, mama
G                        C
I don't know what to do
         F
If you cross my path,
G                     C
You better be running too
