BLACK CAT (Tommy Collins) TOMMY COLLINS (CAPITOL 4495, 1961) Well, a black cat crossed my path I turned around when I saw that Then I threw away my good felt hat And I walked on down the road I took a stroll down by the sea Hoping no more cats to see Then I heard a meow right behind me So I took steps on another road Black cat, black cat Black cats all around me I went over to the dog-pound I didn't think I'd see any cats around But I saw two black ones lying on the ground So I found another way to go I sat down 'neath a live oak tree I saw a little girl, she was lonely She had a black cat, but it didn't scare me 'Cause I liked her right, well right off Black cat, black cat Black cats all around me Well, I sat down beside her and talked a little bit I sure was lucky, I made a big hit I smiled at the kitty and petted it 'Cause a black cat never hurt me Well, to make a long story short and sweet You can't blame a cat for crossing the street It even seems like they helped me to meet The pretty little lonely girl Black cat, black cat They're not unlucky to me We're gonna have two or three Black cat, black cat We're gonna have two or three |
