Black dog up and sniffed his plate a steaming on the stove
Kids ain't seen you home all day
You're a gentleman born to roam
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today
Have you seen the black dog's teeth sharp like a knife
Have you seen him tear apart a throat to take a life
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today
Have you seen the black dog's eyes staring in the fire
It would not occur to him to question your desire
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today
I've always had a fear of creatures crying in the dark
And every form of evil seems to bear an evil mark
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today
My man lay beside me and my black dog's at my feet
He keeps me from my wandering life
And he robs me of my sleep
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today
Now I don't know the black dog's name
But when I call him he will come
How'd I ever get that black dog
Lord he's shown me what he wants
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been
