Lyrics
0:07Hanging over black cloud hanging over my head
0:10Down to my last buck
0:13With an old black cloud hanging over my head
0:17There ain't no such thing as good luck
0:20Oh the very first Saturday of every month
0:23I go down to get me some pay
0:27When I ask my Bossman about a draw
0:30This is what my Bossman say
0:34Black could hanging over my head
0:37Down to my last buck
0:40With an old black cloud hanging over my head
0:43There ain't no such thing as good luck
0:47Well I earn my living
0:48By the sweat of my brow
0:50I work so hard every day
0:53With that old black cloud hanging over my head
0:57To drive my dreams away
1:00And if it wasn't with the help of the one I love
1:04To tell my troubles to
1:07There just ain't no telling what that old black cloud
1:10Might drive this poor man to
1:14Black could hanging over my head
1:17Down to my last buck
1:20With an old black cloud hanging over my head
1:23There ain't no such thing as good luck
1:27I'm gonna seed in the ground gonna grow me a tree
1:30This is what that black cloud done
1:34They sent all the locust to eat up the tree
1:37I'm gonna cook my brains in the sun
1:40And one of these days when I'm laid away
1:44I know that cloud can't wait
1:47It's gonna hover over me on judgement day
1:50To keep me from the pearly gate
1:54Black could hanging over my head
1:57Down to my last buck
2:00With an old black cloud hanging over my head
2:03There ain't no such thing as good luck
2:07Black could hanging over my head
2:10Down to my last buck
2:14Black could hanging over my head
Hanging over 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 Oh the very first Saturday of every month I go down to get me some pay When I ask my Bossman about a draw This is what my Bossman say Black could 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 with 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 Black could 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 seed in the ground gonna grow me a tree This is what that black cloud done They sent all the locust to eat up the tree I'm gonna cook my brains in the 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 judgement day To keep me from the pearly gate Black could 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 Black could hanging over my head Down to my last buck Black could hanging over my head
