Songtext Black cat Band Of Heathens (The)

Black cat

Did you ever hear the story of a stowaway child
Went to New York to start again
Running from a man stood 7 foot 2
With a shadow that never ends

Always know who your people are
Don't forget where you're from
Lift you up, keep your feet on the ground
It's a fight to the death, then it's done
(Know where you come from)

Turning to the world of the underground ring
Of blood, sweat, beast and brawn
No one could take Augustinial swinging
He could fight til the break of dawn
On New Year's Eve a man brought a black cat
To the ring to steal his crown
Augustinial fought that beast all night
Til he finally put the panther in the ground

Always know who your people are
Don't forget where you're from
Lift you up, keep your feet on the ground
It's a fight til the death then it's done
(Know where you come from)

99 years til he finally called it
The legend all but told
Down in the garden there's a 7-foot statue
Of a black cat lined in gold

Always know who your people are
Don't forget where you're from
He was laid to rest underneath that panther
It's a fight to the death then it's done
(Know where you come from)
