Lyrics
Well, I ain't superstitious
Expressing a lack of belief in superstitions
Black cat just cross my trail
Encountering a black cat crossing the path
Well, I ain't superstitious
Reiteration of not being superstitious
Oh, the black cat just cross my trail
Another mention of a black cat crossing the path
Don't sweep me with no broom
Warning against using a broom to sweep, suggesting potential trouble
I might get put in jail
Concern about the possibility of being arrested
When my right hand itches
Noticing an itchy right hand, anticipating some action
I gets somebody for sure
Expecting a specific outcome when the right hand itches
When my right hand itches
Reiteration of anticipating a certain result when the right hand itches
I gets somebody for sure
Expecting consequences when the left eye twitches
But when my left eye jump
Implying someone will face negative outcomes when the left eye twitches
Somebody got to go
Noting the howling of dogs in the neighborhood
Well, the dogs are howlin'
Reiterating the presence of howling dogs
All over the neighborhood
Suggesting that howling dogs are a sign of impending death
Whoa, the dogs are howlin'
Reiteration of the ominous meaning behind howling dogs
All over the neighborhood
Stating that the howling dogs are a true sign of death
That is true sign of death
Expressing the seriousness of the situation
Baby, that ain't no good
Advising against superstition due to its negative consequences
Well, I ain't superstitious
Reiteration of the lack of belief in superstitions
Black cat just cross my trail
Encountering a black cat again on the trail
Well, I ain't superstitious
Reiterating the lack of belief in superstitions despite encountering a black cat
Black cat just cross my trail
Encountering a black cat once more
Don't sweep me with no broom
Repeating the warning against using a broom
I just might get put in jail
Highlighting the potential consequence of using a broom
