Black Panter Blues

Black Panter Blues - John Lee Williamson

My baby thinks she a black panther

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 panther

Now an she wants to rule me a while

Now when she says something contrary

Now she don't want me to do nothing 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 an I didn't have time to swaller

In my bed I found a black panther mm

Musta been about forty nine inches long

Now an I went an got my shotgun

Started to killing

But I thought my baby's been doing me wrong

Well the panther thinkgs she's a rulin'

Now because she always has her way

Now but someday she gonna meet the lion

She ain't 'on even have no place to stay

Now my baby thinks she's a black panther

Now an she wants to rule me a while

Now an when she says something contrary

She don't want me to do nothing but smile
