MAGGIE HOLLAND: BLACK CAT 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. | BLACK DOG 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?
