Black dog in the warm sunshine

Looks like she's lost her mind

Why don't we call her back

She can't go on like that



We're standin' in the doorway now

Wondering how black dog got out

If she could only hear me

Black dog might come back again



Black dog will you come around

Black dog won't you lay yourself down



She can run and she can play

Black dog likes to get away

She can bark and she can bite

Black dog keeps you up at night



Neighbors are getting tired

Black dog is in their yard

In your fence a time or two

Before you have to start anew



Black dog will you come around

Black dog won't you lay yourself down



Black dog will run again

Because shes not listening

Sun is settin' on her face

Black dogs wondered far away



I wanna see your face

When they put black dog in place

You say it can't be done 

But tomorrow won't be long



Black dog will you come around

Black dog won't you lay yourself down



Black dog will you come around

Black dog when will you lay yourself down
