Is there anyone who can help me finding Albert Collins' "Black Cat
Bone" lyrics?
I'm Italian, I understand, talk and write English well enough but it's
difficult to me to understand the spelling of the songs' words, the
most of the times. Thanx from now, bye. xDx

I'm not sure if this is also the Albert Collins song, but I found this at:

Black Cat Bone

by Johnny Winter
recording 1969 resp. 1996, 1997
from The Progressive Blues Experiment (One Way 57340) & Electric Blues Man
(Magnum America 510) & White Heat (M.I.L. Multimedia 3031), copyright notice

I believes my old lady she done, drive my black bone
You know I made my old lady she done, drive my black cat bone
I got a funny feeling right here, something's going all wrong

She don't shoot in the morning, she walk the streets till late at night
She don't shoot in the morning, she walk the streets till late at night
Well she come home in the evening, doggone baby fight

Gonna call up the operator, right around the town
Get up this crazy world that's going on, I believe my baby she done, drive
my black cat bone
Got a funny feeling right here, something's going wrong

My mama treats me like a, well fed dog at bay
You know my baby, like a well fed dog at bay
Yeah, I might be tired of living and I'll put

I'm gonna take it up iron Memphis, to get my hands on the bone
Gonna lay around here living till I, get on the phone
Gonna make it to Memphis man, to get my hands on the bone
I'm gonna lay around here in Mississippi, 'cause or else it's gonna spoil

I believes my old lady she done, drive my black bone
You know I made my old lady she done, drive my black cat bone
I got a funny feeling right here, something's going all wrong

It's not the right one Wouter. :-)

Albert's version was on the album Showdown which he made with Johnny
Copeland and Robert Cray. The song is also available on the Alligator 20
year celebration disc.

Black Cat Bone

Cray / Collins / Copeland

Transcribed by Jodd JTF

Cray, Collins, Copeland: Showdown!


Lyrics:

"Hey, Albert!"
"Yeah, Johnny, what's happening, man?"
"What's going on, man?"
"Oh man, it's all right"
"Tell me something, Albert: what ever happened to Hop Wilson, man?"
"Well, Hop left us, man"
"He did, Albert"
"Boy he sure played that guitar over at the Red Lily Cube"
"Yeah he layed that steel in his lap, he'd be gettin' down"
"I used to like the way he said"

I believe
My baby got a black cat bone, oh yeah, yeah
I believe
My baby got a black cat bone
Seems like everything I do
Seems like it's wrong

See I tried so hard
To get along with that woman of mine
You see I tried real hard, y'all
To get along with that woman
Seems like the harder I tried
The more she walked around cheatin' and lyin', oh
Yeah, she did

(Collins on vocals)

I walked down from Dallas, Texas
Down to Wichita Falls
I got to thinkin' about that big-legged woman
Were no walkin' on (?)

I believe
My baby got a black cat bone
Everything I do
Everything I do is wrong

Ha, play it Albert!

(Ice breaking solo by Collins)

(Copeland solo)

(Johnny and Albert vocals together)

I went all the way from Dallas
Down to Wichita Falls
Got to thinkin' about my big-legged woman
Were no walkin' on

I believe
Baby's got a black cat bone, yeah
Seems like everything I do
Seems like I do is wrong

(Dual solo)

I believe
My baby got a black cat bone
I believe
My baby got a black cat bone
Seem like everything I do
Seem like I do is wrong
