Blind Lemon Jefferson Cat Man Blues Lyrics

Cat man cat man : stay away from my house at night
Prowling around my back door when I'm gone : you know
that ain't right

When I come home last night I heard a noise : asked my
wife what was that
She said don't be so suspicious : that wasn't a thing but
a cat

I've been all over the world : I've taken all kinds of
chance
I've never seen a cat : come home in a pair of pants

I'm tired of this jellyroll man : come to my home when I'm out
Know it's the cause of my woman : boys is *necking* about

Reason I call him cat man : he don't [come, go] around in
the day
Come around at midnight : steals my cream when I'm away

Tell me a cat got nine lives : honey and I believe that's
true
If the cat man is got nine lives : he going to need them
when I get through
