You Is One Black Rat Lyrics


My little Gloria, she had a new boyfriend and all
I thought I was the only one
But I found out she had a another one
Then made two of her [Incomprehensible]Too many
And I had this word to tell her, 'bout the new fella
He's one black rat, one damn fine [Incomprehensible]
I want you to listen throughYeah, you is one black rat, one day, I'll find your trail
Yeah, you is one black rat, one day, I'll find your trail
Then I'll hide my shoe somewhere near your shirttailWell I take you in my home
You ate up all my bread
I left there this morning
You say, my whole family been fedYeah, yeah, you is one black rat, one day, I'll find your trail
Then I'll hide my shoe somewhere near your shirttailWell, I taken you downtown
I bought everything you need
When I gotten back in my house
You ate up all my feedYou is one black rat, one day, I'll find your trail
Then I'll hide my shoe somewhere near your shirttail

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Sam Hopkins was born on March 15, 1912 in Centerville, Texas. In 1920, at the age of eight, Hopkins met and played with the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson, even becoming Jefferson's guide for a short time. Hopkins' cousin, the great bluesman, Texas Alexander, was another influence. Their musical partnership was broken up by Hopkins' time in Houston's County Prison Farm during the 1930s. When Hopkins made his way to Houston's Third Ward in 1946 he was introduced to Lola Anne Cullum, a talent scout who had pieced together deals with companies such as Aladdin Records out of Los Angeles.
