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
