Cat Man Blues - John Hammond

Went home last night, heard a noise, I asked my wife what was that

Went home last night, heard a noise, I asked my wife what was that

Said man don’t be so suspicious, that ain’t nothin' but a cat

Lord I traveled this world all over mama, takin' all kinds of chance

Travelin' this world all over mama, takin' all kinds of chance

But I never come home before, seein' a cat wearin' a pair of pants

Lord I 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 waits till late at night woman, when he can steal my cream away

Lord I want that cat man to stay away from my house, Lordy when I’m out

Lord I want that cat man to stay away from my house, oh Lord when I’m out

'Cause I believe he’s the cause of my woman, wearin' the mattress down

Said I went home last night, actin' just quiet as a lamb

Said I went home last night, actin' quiet as a lamb

I never raised no stuff man, till I heard my backdoor slam
