Well.....
I got a black cat bone (x4)
I got a black cat bone but I think my luck's run dry
I'm gonna weep and moan (x4)
Gonna weep and moan and sob and wail and cry
Well I've been betrayed (x4)
Well I've been betrayed and my girl she said goodbye
I've got my old sheath blade (x4)
I've got my old sheath blade and I think someone might die

Take a Ride

She blows a kiss and sips her drink
She gives the bar a dirty wink
She picks a guy to take her home
"Come and have some fun it won't last so long"
She'll take a ride (x2)
She'll take a ride anytime
but she don't wanna ride with me
She's got cheats and lowlifes in a line
But she's made it clear she won't be mine
Oh don't you know it hurts me so
When you're off with every man you know
She'll take a ride (x2)
She'll take a ride anytime
but she don't wanna ride with me
She picks a guy to take her home
"Come have some fun it won't last so long
She's got cheats and lowlifes in a line
But she's made it clear she won't be mine
She'll take a ride (x2)
She'll take a ride anytime
but she don't wanna ride with me

Don't Pray for Me

I don't need your sympathy
I don't need your pity
I don't need you to patronise me
So don't pray for me
Don't you pray for me
I might just be the king of lost causes
So keep your sighs, your rolling eyes and heavy pauses
I don't believe in mystic forces
So don't pray for me
Don't you pray for me
I don't need your good intentions
So keep your holier-than-thou pretensions
I don't need salvation
I don't need redemption
So don't pray for me
Don't you pray for me

In my Time of Dying

In my time of dying
I don't don't want nobody to moan
All I want for you to do
Is take me when I'm gone
Well well well
So I can die easy
Well well well
Well well well
I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed
Meet me Jesus, meet me
Meet me in the middle of the air
If these wings should fail me lord won't you meet me with another pair
Well well well
So I can die easy
Well well well
Well well well
I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed
In my time of dying
I don't want nobody to cry
All I want for you to do
Is take me when I die
Well well well
So I can die easy
Well well well
Well well well
I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Pistol Pete Wearn recommends:
LIVE IN GERMANY Circa 1998
by The Hoax
My favourite record by the other (only?) great blues act to come out of the small Wiltshire village of Great Cheverell. Captures the magic in a way that their 'official' releases never quite managed.
