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

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

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

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

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

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
