Black Dog of Erie
R. DAWSON & S. FINK
Just passed Evansville on the Indiana line
Take a look in the mirror, can't leave you behind
Hung a right at Toledo
You know I can't complain
The Black Dog of Erie sunk the Mary Jane
Late at night you can hear them howl
Little boats all float around
You know that night was freezing cold
I'll tell you something you never known
Turned around in Cleveland
On the way to Kalamazoo
When I looked in the mirror
Guess I'm missing you
Had to leave Le Griffon
At the bottom of the lake
We're they all cursed then, for goodness' sake?
Late at night you can hear them howl
Little boats all float around
You know that night was freezing cold
I'll tell you something you never known
Made a right in Toledo on the way back
Didn't look in the mirror, know I like to roam
Ol' South Bay Bessie
She got a ponytail
Saw her eyes sparkle and all her empty sails
Late at night you can hear them howl
Little boats all float around
You know that night was freezing cold
I'll tell you something you never known
