Sure can.

Call me a dog when I'm gone It's old black dog when I'm gone But when I get home with a ten dollar bill It's daddy where you've been so long Well I've been all around Kentucky

In the state of old Tennessee Call me a dog when I'm gone, Lord, Lord Old black dog when I'm gone

When I get home with a $10 bill, is daddy where you been so long?

My daddy was a gambling man from the state of old Tennessee.

He taught me to bet all of my money on an ace jack, that deuce, and a tray.

It's going all far to leave me Ain't never coming back my way And it's old Black Dog when I'm gone Lord, Lord, it's old Black Dog when I'm gone But when I get home with a ten dollar bill Daddy, where you been so long?

Black Dog Blues.

Well, I started out with very little and it's growing.

I remember when Bob Dylan's first record came out, I said, OK, I'm going to be a singer.

If he can get away with that, I'm going to get away with this.

And back in the early 60s, I moved south when I was 18.

The first time I joined the Navy, ran away to sea and moved to Virginia.

And I've been headed south ever since.

And I've been lucky to have been associated with some great masters of the industry.

Some of them knew they were masters and others didn't.

Pink Anderson was from Spartanburg, South Carolina.

He made two records in 1929.

That was that.
