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 neighbourhood
And that ain't all
Dogs begin to bark
All over my neighbourhood
Mmm-mmm
This is a mean old world to live in
And I can't face it all by myself, at all

[Instrumental Break]

And, dogs begin to bark
All over my neighbourhood
The dogs begin to bark
All over my neighbourhood
I got a feelin' about the future
And it ain't too good, I know that
I know, I know, I know

[Instrumental Break]

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

[Instrumental Outro]

Jeff Beck Group

An English rock band formed in January 1967 by former Yardbird Jeff Beck. The first Jeff Beck Group included vocalist Rod Stewart, guitarist Ronnie Wood, and a changing array of bass players and drummers. This lineup recorded Truth in 1968 – which reached the number 15 spot in the US charts – and Beck-Ola 1969.

In-fighting within the band led Jeff Beck to reform reform the group in 1970 with vocalists Alex Ligertwood and Bobby Tench, keyboardist Max Middleton, drummer Cozy Powell, and bassist Clive Chaman. This group released Rough and Ready in 1971.

The Jeff Beck Group’s final album, Jeff Beck Group, was released in January 1972. The Jeff Beck Group officially disbanded in July of 1972.
