Well, I ain't superstitious, black cat just cross my trail
Well, I ain't superstitious, oh the black cat just cross my trail
Don't sweep me with no broom, I might get put in jail
When my right hand itches, I gets money for sure
When my right hand itches, I gets money for sure
But, when my left eye jumps, somebody's got to go
Well, I ain't superstitious, black cat just cross my trail
Well, I ain't superstitious, black cat just cross my trail
Don't sweep me with no broom, I just might get put in jail
Well, the dogs are howlin, all over the neighborhood
Whoa, the dogs are howlin, all over the neighborhood
That is true sign of death, baby, that ain't no good
Well, I'm not superstitious, blow that black cat across my trail
Well, I'm not superstitious, a black cat across my trail
Don't sweep me with no broom, I just might get put in jail
Lyrics as recorded by The Rolling Stones (1978)
Meet me on the bottom,
Bring me my running shoes.
When i come out the window,
We ain't got time to lose.
Well i ain't superstitious,
But a black cat crossed my trail.
Don't brush me with my broom, babe,
I just might land in jail.
Well my right hand itchin', babe,
I get smothered by the shore.
Look down you engine, babe,
But somebody got to go.
Meet me on the bottom, babe,
Bring me my running shoes.
When i come out the window, babe,
We ain't got time to lose.
Well i hope you are listening,
When i come streaking by.
Got a bad old man, babe,
And i'm too young to die.
Well i ain't superstitious,
But a black cat crossed my trail.
Don't brush me with my broom, babe,
I just might land in jail.
Dogs been barking
All around my neighborhood.
You give a sign, babe,
Ain't do nobody no good.
