(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.
