You Is One Black Rat blues lyrics

1
Well you is one black rat
Someday I'll find your trail
Well you is one black rat
Someday I'll find your trail
Yes I hide my shoe
Somewhere near your shirttail
2
Well you sleeps in my kitchen
Eat up all my bread
Soon as I left home
Start to cuttin' up in my bed
Yeah you is one black rat
Someday I'll find your trail
Yes I hide my shoe
Somewhere near your shirttail
3
Well I taken you downtown
Paid your doctor bill
Now I get a little trouble
And you're tryin' to get me killed
Yes you is one black rat
Someday I'll find your trail
Yes I hide my shoe
Somewhere near your shirttail
(repeat 1, 2, 1)
