lyrics

Black cat sittin’ on a wooley stump that’s covered in moss
And surrounded by the mud.
Rain came down and the water it rise til the black cat’s
Surrounded on all 4 sides.

Black cat, Black cat, Black cat whatcha gon’ do?
Black cat, Black cat, Black cat whatcha gon’ do?
Black cat, Black cat, Black cat whatcha gon’ do?
When you can’t swim and the water gets up ta you…

Ol’ crow sittin on the edge of a fence,
He saw a little cricket; mr. farmer saw him.
Crow swooped down to get a cricket he find,
Mr. farmer got ‘em lined up dead in his sights.

Ol’ crow, ol’ crow whatca gon’ do?
Ol’ crow, ol’ crow whatca gon’ do?
Ol’ crow, ol’ crow whatca gon’ do?
When ya can’t outrun the gun that’s aimed at you…

Sometimes ya know that cha can’t do nothin’,
When ya down on your luck and it feels like your’re stuck and
Everytime that cha move it’ll get a little tighter,
Out in left field the sun can set a little brighter…

Black cat look around again to find an old log washin’ up right alongside,
So he jump onto and he hold on tight and he float on down to
Where it’s safe and dry
Ol’ crow, he never got what was comin
For the first time ever Mr. Farmer jammed his gun.
Crow flew away, mr. cricket was safe,
And ol’ farmer sat there on his porch and he say:

What’m’my, What’m’my, What’m’my gon’ do?
What’m’my, What’m’my, What’m’my gon’ do?
What’m’my, What’m’my, What’m’my gon’ do?
With an ol’ black cat and gun that won’t even shoot?
