Eddy Arnold - Black Cloud lyrics

(Bill Brock) There's a black cloud hanging over my head Down to my last buck With that old black cloud hanging over my head There ain't no such thing as good luck. On the very first Saturday of every month I go to town to get my some pay When I ask my bossman about the draw This is what my bossman say There's a black cloud hanging over my head Down to my last buck With that old black cloud hanging over my head There ain't no such thing as good luck. Well, I earn my livin' by sweatin' my brow I work so hard at my job every day With that old black cloud hanging over my head That drive my dreams away. And if it wasn't for the help of the one I love to tell my troubles to There just ain't no tellin' what that old black cloud Might drive this poor boy too. Black cloud hanging over my head Down to my last buck With that old black cloud hanging over my head There ain't no such thing as good luck. I've gotta see in the ground for to grow me a tree This is what that black cloud done They said all the locust to eat the tree I'm gonna cook my brains in the sun. In one of these days when I bade away I know that cloud can't wait It's gonna holler over me on Judgement Day To keep me out of the pearly gate. Black cloud hanging over my head Down to my last buck With that old black cloud hanging over my head There ain't no such thing as good luck. Black cloud over my head, Black cloud over my head. Black cloud over my head...
