Jimmy Miller - Stray Cat Blues lyrics

[Intro] Ah... hey Yeah, cat's own tail [Verse 1] I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs I know you're no scared-eyed honey There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs [Refrain] But it's no hanging matter It's no capital crime [Verse 2] I can see that you're fifteen years old No I don't want your I.D And I can see that you're so far from home [Refrain] But it's no hanging matter It's no capital crime [Chorus] Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat Oh yeah, don't you scratch like that Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat I bet, bet your mama don't know you scream like that I bet your mother don't know you can spit like that [Verse 3] You look so weird and you're so far from home Bet you really miss your mother Don't look so scared I'm no mad-brained bear [Refrain] But it's no hanging matter It's no capital crime [Chorus] Oh, yeah Woo! I bet your mama don't know that you scratch like that I bet she don't know you can bite like that [Verse 4] You say you got a friend, that she's wilder than you Why don't you bring her upstairs? If she's so wild then she can join in too [Refrain] It's no hanging matter It's no capital crime [Chorus] Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat Oh yeah, don't you scratch like that Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat I bet you mama don't know you can bite like that I'll bet she never saw you scratch my back
