Black Cloud Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

There's a black cloud hanging over my head 

Down to my last buck 

With that old black cloud hanging over my head 

There ain't no such thing as good luck 

On the very first Saturday of every month 

I go to town to get my some pay 

When I ask my bossman about the draw 

This is what my bossman say 

There's a black cloud hanging over my head... 

Well I earn my livin' by sweatin' my brow 

I work so hard at my job every day 

With that old black cloud hanging over my head 

That drive my dreams away 

And if it wasn't for the help of the one I love 

To tell my troubles to 

There just ain't no tellin' what that old black cloud 

Might drive this poor boy to 

Black cloud hanging over my head... 

I've got a seed in the ground for to grow me a tree 

This is what that black cloud done 

They said all the locust to eat up the tree 

I'm gonna cook my brains in the sun 

In one of these days when I bade away 

I know that cloud can't wait 

It's gonna holler over me on Judgement Day 

To keep me out of the pearly gate 

Black cloud hanging over my head... 

Black cloud over my head black cloud over my head 

Black cloud over my head
