Black Panter Blues

Black Panter Blues - John Lee Williamson

My baby thinks she a black panter

She wanna climb up in her tree an jump down

Now she wants cut my throat

When ain't nobody else around

My baby thinks she's a black panter

Now and she wants to rule me a while

Now when she says something contrary

Now she don't want me to do nothin' but smile

Last night in my bed I found a black panter

Must a been about forty nine inches

You could hear me holler

Man and I didn't have time to swaller

In my bed I found a black panter mm

Must been about forty nine inches long now

Now I went got my shotgun when

I started to kill her

But I thought my baby's been doin' me wrong

Well the ground think's she's a rulin'

Now because she always has her way

Now but someday she gonna meet the lion

She ain't even have no place to stay

Now my baby thinks she's a black panter mm

Now and she wants to rule me a while

Now and when she says somethin' contrary

She don't want me to do nothin' but smile
