(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 aint got time to lose.

Well I aint superstitious,
But a black cat crossed my trail.
Dont 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 aint got time to lose.

Well I hope you are listening,
When I come streaking by.
Got a bad old man, babe,
And Im too young to die.

Well I aint superstitious,
But a black cat crossed my trail.
Dont brush me with my broom, babe,
I just might land in jail.

Dogs been barking
All around my neighborhood.
You give a sign, babe,
Aint do nobody no good.
