(willie dixon)
(alternate titles: meet me on the bottom, down on the bottom)
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.
