Stray Cat Blues Lyrics
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you’re no scare-eyed honey.
There’ll be a feast if you just come upstairs
But it’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime

I can see that you’re fifteen years old
No I don’t want your I.D.
You look so rest-less and you’re so far from home
But it’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime

Oh yeah, you’re a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don’tcha scratch like that
Oh yeah, you’re a strange stray cat
Bet your mama don’t know you scream like that
I bet your mother don’t know you can spit like that.

You look so weird and you’re so far from home
But you don’t really miss your mother
Don’t look so scared I’m no mad-brained bear
But it’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
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.

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
It’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime

Oh yeah, you’re a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don’tcha 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

LIVE CONCERT VERSION WAS DIFFERENT

(Thank you)
I hear the clip-clap of your feet upon the stairs
I know ya ain’t no scare-eyed honey.
There’ll be a feast if you just come upstairs
It’s no hanging matter, no
It’s no capital crime

I can see that you’re just thirteen years old
I don’t want your I.D.
You look so lonesome and you so far from home
It’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime

Yeah, I’m a strange stray cat
Yeah, don’tcha scratch like that?
Yeah, you’re a strange stray cat
Bet you mama don’t know that ya bite like that
I bet she never heard ya scream like that..

You look so lonesome and I’m so far from home
But I don’t really miss my mother
Don’t look so scared I’m not no mad-brained bear
It’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
Yeah!

You say you got a friend she’s wilder than you
Why don’t you bring her upstairs
If she’s so wild she can join in too
It’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime

Yeah, you’re a strange stray cat
Yeah, why don’tcha bite like that?
Oh yeah, yeah, you’re a strange stray cat
I bet you mama never saw ya you scratch like that
Bet she never saw ya bite like that
