Tampa Red lyrics

Dead Cats On The Line blues lyrics

You Chicago women run hand in hand
You run around with one another's man
(chorus:) There's a dead cat on the line
There's a dead cat on the line
I ain't lyin', you're the cheatin' kind
There's a dead cat on the line
You come home at night talkin' out your head
You have to take a bath before you go to bed
(chorus)
You're in such a sniffer gettin' mighty strung
When you shake hands you got to hold it so long
(chorus)
She as standin' in church with her own man
I saw you when you tickled her in her hand
(chorus)
(Play it now!)
You're brownskin, your husband ain't fair
Your children all yellin' got curly hair
(chorus)
Early this mornin' 'bout half past four
I seen Bill Johnson comin' out your door
(chorus)
There's one thing I can't understand
You broke up your home and quit your reg'lar man
(chorus)
