Black Dog Lyrics by Shakin’

Be Gentle!

0

There was a black dog walking down the street
Every day the same time from the Philippines
I was so keen on kissing him goodnight
All night long, I didn't hear a sound

Now that I was lonely, the morning seemed so far
Went to the beach to get some more cigar
Then I ended up with a pair of dirty shoes
Sleeping on the couch of a dirty hotel room

All night long...

Slipping and spinning and sailing through the ceiling
Swimming and setting and sailing through the night
Dirty night, dirty shoes, dirty hotel room
All night long with a bloody 22

Slipping and spinning and sailing through the ceiling
Swimming and setting and sailing through the night
Dirty night, dirty shoes, dirty hotel room
All night long with a bloody 22

All night long...

There was a black dog walking down the street
Every day the same time from the Philippines
I was so keen on kissing him goodnight
All night long, I didn't hear a sound
