Ain't superstitious,
black cat crossed my trail.
I ain't superstitious,
but a black cat crossed my trail.
Bad luck ain't got me so far,
and I won't let it stop me now.
The dogs begin to bark,
all over my neighborhood.
And that ain't all.
Dogs begin to bark,
all over my neighborhood.
Mmm-mmm
This is a mean old world to live in,
And I can't face it all by myself, at all.
And, dogs begin to bark,
all over my neighborhood.
The dogs begin to bark,
all over my neighborhood.
I got a feelin' about the future,
and it ain't too good, I know that.
I know, I know, I know.
Ain't superstitious,
but black cat crossed my trail,
(I said it so many times before)
Ain't superstitious,
a black cat crossed my trail.
Bad luck ain't got me so far,
and you know I ain't gonna let it stop me now.
Come on.

I AIN'T SUPERSTITIOUS
(Alternate titles: Meet Me on the Bottom, Down on the Bottom)
(Willie Dixon)

The Rolling Stones


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.
