Stray Cat Blues

I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs I know you ain't no scare-eyed honey There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs But it's no hanging matter It ain't no capital crime I can see you're only fifteen years old But I don't want your I.D You look so restless and you're so far from home But you know it's a, ain't no hanging matter Ain't no capital crime Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat I'll bet your mother didn't know you could scream like that Bet she didn't know you could bite like that You look so weird and you're so far from home But you really miss your mother Don't look so scared I be no mad-brained bear But ain't no hanging matter No it ain't no, ain't no capital crime You say you got a friend, she's wilder than you Why don't you bring her on upstairs If she's so wild she can join in too But ain't no hanging matter It ain't no capital crime
