Black Cloud
This is what my boss man say
Ha! Ha! Black Cloud
Hanging over my head
Down to my last buck
With an old black cloud
Hanging over my head
There ain't no such thing as good luck
Well, I earn my living
By the sweat of my brow
I work so hard every day
With that old black cloud
Hanging over my head
To drive my dreams away
And if it wasn't for the help
Of the one I love
To tell my troubles to
There just ain't no telling
What that old black cloud
Might drive this poor man to
Ha! Ha! Black Cloud
Hanging over my head
Down to my last buck
With an old black cloud
Hanging over my head
There ain't no such thing as good luck
I'm gonna seat in the ground
Gonna sit in the ground
Gonna grow me a tree
This is what that black cloud done
They sent all the locusts
To eat up the tree
I'm gonna cook my brains and sun
And one of these days
When I'm laid away
I know that cloud can't wait
It's gonna hover over me
On Judgment Day
To keep me from the pearly gaze
Ha! Ha! Black Cloud
Hanging over my head
Down to my last buck
With an old black cloud
Hanging over my head
There ain't no such thing as good luck
Ha! Ha! Black Cloud
Hanging over my head
Down to my last buck
Ha! Ha! Black Cloud
Hanging over my head
There ain't no such thing as good luck
