Black cat up and sniffs her plate
A-steaming on the stove,
I haven't seen you're home all day,
You're a treacher born to rove.
Black cat don't believe in sin,
Think of where the black cat's been,
Think of where she's been today.
Have you seen the black cat's eyes
Staring in the fire?
It would not occur to her
To question my desire.
Black cat don't believe in sin,
Think of where the black cat's been,
Think of where she's been today.
Have you seen her closing teeth
Sharp like a knife?
Have you seen them tear upon a throat
To take a life?
Black cat don't believe in sin,
Think of where the black cat's been,
Think of where she's been today.
My husband lies beside me,
The black cat at my feet,
He keeps me from my wandering
And she robs me of my sleep.
Black cat don't believe in sin,
Think of where the black cat's been,
Think of where she's been today.
I don't know the black cat's name,
If I call her, she don't come.
How'd I get this black cat,
I never wanted one.
Black cat don't believe in sin,
Think of where the black cat's been,
Think of where she's been today.
