OLD BLACK DOG, YOU RABID BITCH
TWICE NOW I’VE KICKED YOU TO THE DITCH
AND STILL YOU KEEP ON COMING BACK LIKE SIN
TOOK MY FRIENDS AND TOOK MY WIFE
AND IF YOU COULD, YOU’D TAKE MY LIFE
BUT YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET THAT CHANCE AGAIN
BLACK DOG
BLACK DOG
BLACK DOG, DON’T YOU COME AROUND HERE NO MORE
TIRED OF LIVING, SCARED OF DYING
WITH MY EYES ALL RED FROM CRYING
USED TO LIE AWAKE ALL NIGHT AND WATCH YOU SLEEP
USED TO LIE AROUND ALL DAY
JUST WISHING YOU WOULD GO AWAY
UNTIL I MADE A PROMISE I’M GOING TO KEEP
I WILL BEAT YOU, CHOKE YOU, BITE YOU
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO FIGHT YOU
AND SEND YOU BACK TO HELL WHERE YOU BELONG
NOW I KNOW I’M NOT ALONE
AIN’T GONNA THROW THIS DOG NO BONE
WHEN I LOOK YOUR WAY AGAIN, YOU’D BETTER BE GONE
BLACK DOG
BLACK DOG
BLACK DOG, DON’T YOU COME AROUND HERE NO MORE
