"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
