Chris Cheney - 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 ID
I can see that 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 scatch 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
