Lyrics

Winchester
Black dog up and sniffed his plate
A steaming on the stove
The kids ain't seed 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 dog's teeth
Sharp, like a knife
Have you seen them tear upon a throat
To take a life
CHORUS
Have you seen black dog's eyes
Starin' at the fire
It would not occur to him
To question your desire
CHORUS
I've always had a fear of creatures
Cryin' in the dark
And every form of evil
Seems to bear an evil mark
CHORUS
My woman lays beside me
And my black dog at my feet
She keeps me from my wandering life
And he robs me of my sleep
CHORUS
I don't know the black dog's name
When I call him, he don't come
How'd I get this black dog
Lord I never wanted one
