Went home last night, heared a knock, I asked my wife, "What was that?"
Went home last night, heared a knock, I asked my wife, "What was that?"
Says, "Man, don't be so suspicious, that ain't nothing but a cat"
Lord, I traveled this world all over, mama, taken all kind of chance
Traveled this world all over, mama, takin' all kind of chance
But I never come home before, seen a cat wearing a pair of pants
Lord, they wouldn't call him Cat Man, if he'd come around in the day
Wouldn't call him Cat Man, if he'd come around in the day
But he wait 'til late at night, mama, when he can steal my cream away
Lord I want that Cat Man to stay away from my house, Lordy, when I'm out
Want that Cat Man to stay away from my house, oh Lord, when I'm out
'Cause I b'lieve he's a' causin' my woman, wearing the mattress out
Says, I went home last night, acting quiet as a lamb
Says, I went home last night, acting quiet as a lamb
I never raised no 'sturbment 'til I heared my back door slam
