Black Dog

By midnights voice

Black Dog



Black Dog . . . growls

Black Dog . . . howls

Black Dog . . . prowls

Just before daylight


Black Dog's . . . eyes

Black Dog's . . . lies

Black Dog's . . .tries

All night long


Black Dog . . . knocks

Black Dog . . . bangs

Black Dog . . . fangs

Are white and red


You let . . . Black Dog in

You fret . . . Black Dog Sin

You bet . . . Black Dog gin

As you feel it deep within


Black Dog . . . slinks

Black Dog . . . winks

Black Dog . . . jinx

You hope he comes again

    It is an inspiration from Jesse Winchester's song "Black Dog" from his 1970 record by the same name . But the best version of the song was done by the band "Babe Ruth" which one can and should be watched on Utube . Thank you worn for reading .

    I don't know why but this reminds me of treasure island. I know that isn't what you were thinking of when you wrote it but I can't help it.

    I have no idea why the whole time I was reading this I thought of Robert Johnson.
