Black Cloud Lyrics

There's an old black cloud hanging over my head
Down to my last buck
With that old black cloud hanging over my head
There ain't no such thing as good luck

On the very first Saturday of every month
I go to town to get me some pay
When I ask my bossman about a draw
This is what my bossman says

There's an old black cloud hanging over my head
Down to my last buck
With that old black cloud's hanging over my head
There ain't no such thing as good luck

I put a seed in the ground for to grow me a tree
This is what that black cloud done
It sent all the locusts to eat up the tree
I tell you I'm not the lucky one

There's an old black cloud over my head
Yeah down to my last buck
With that old black cloud hanging over my head
There ain't no such thing as good luck

And one of these days when I'm laid away
I know that cloud can wait
It's done a hold over me on judgement day
To keep me out of the Pearly gate

There's an old black cloud over my head
Down to my last buck
With that old black cloud hanging over my head
There ain't no such thing as good luck

Yes
Black cloud
Been hanging over my head
Black cloud you bucking me
Oh you sure did
