Black Rat Swing

Black Rat Swing - Memphis Minnie

Written by：E. Lawlars

Yes you is one black rat

Someday I'll find your trail

Yes you is one black rat

Someday I'll find your trail

Then I'll hide my shoe

Somewhere near your shirt tail

Yes I've taken you down town

Paid your doctor bills

Now I'm in a little trouble

And you're trying to get me killed

Yes you is one black rat

Someday I'll find your trail

Then I'll hide my shoe

Somewhere near your shirt tail

It is sneak in my kitchen

Eat up all my bread

Soon as I left home

Start to cutting up in my bed

Yes you is one black rat

Someday I'll find your trail

Then I'll hide my shoe

Somewhere near your shirt tail

Yeah beat it out

Yeah bedroom

I'm gonna catch him someday soon

He must dance in the basement

Was seen in my bedroom

Trapping for the youngsters

I will catch him someday soon

Yeah he is one black rat

Someday I'll find him trail

Then I'll hide my shoe

Somewhere near him shirt tail
