The Black Cat swung out on a very dark night,
When the moon hid behind the hill,
The Black was out there lookin' for a fight,
And I think she's out there still, oh
I think she's out there still
2
The Black Cat swung down to salty pete's,
She was lookin' for to steal some fish,
As she went by sailor Bob said hi,
I think you're the cat for me, oh
I think you're the cat for me.
3
The ship set sail the very next day,
And the black cat climbed up the mast,
She looked to the left and she looked to the right,
And she realized the ocean was vast, oh
She realized the ocean was vast.
4
Sailor Bob named the cat old Slippery Sam,
And the cat she liked that name,
The rats went runnin' as the cat was comin'
For she treated them all the same, oh
She treated them all the same.
5
The mate made the cat a little pirate's hat,
A paring knife hung by here side,
As she walked the deck with a patch on one eye,
All the sailors they stood aside, oh
The sailors they stood aside.
6
Now a pirate's life is really misunderstood,
Robbin' from the kings and queens,
When people walk the plank they all shed a tear,
But what matters in the end is the gold, oh
What matters in the end is the gold.
7
The mate had his eye on the captain's chair,
So he waited till the middle of the night,
When he got to the main cabin the captain wasn't there,
And the mate got a dagger in the back, oh
The mate got a dagger in the back.
8
The crew took sides and the fight was on,
Soon the deck was awash in blood,
By morning light everybody on the ship was dead,
And the cat sailed on by herself, oh
The cat sailed on by herself.
9
The Black Cat swung out on a very dark night,
While the moon hid behind the hill,
The Black Cat was out there looking for a fight,
And I think she's out there still oh, oh
I think she's out there still.
