Balky Mule Blues Lyrics

I got up this morning : sure was feeling fine
I heard a rap at the door : must be that bad cat woman of
mine

She was fussing she was fighting : and acting like a
doggone fool
And hemming and a‑hawing : and acting just like a balky
mule

Bad cat ain't no wildcat : and he's going to stay home at
night
But when it comes to squabbling : he sure can scratch and bite

I got up this morning : I was easing across this floor
Now my bad cat's leaving me : ain't going to catch my
mice no more

I was standing on the corner : when they brought me the
bad cat news
Now here come my bad cat mama : to run me away with them
bad cat blues
