Mean Eyed Cat

Mean Eyed Cat - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

Written by：Johnny Cash/John R. Cas

I gave my woman half my money at the general store

I said now buy a little groceries and don't spend no more

Then she paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat

And got some store-bought cat food for mean eyed cat

When I give her ten more dollars for a one way ticket

She was mad as she could be

Then I bet ten more that if she ever left

She'd come a crawlin' back to me

When I woke up this morning and I turned my head

There wasn't a cotton picking thing on her side of the bed

I found a little old note where her head belonged

It said dear John honey baby I'm long gone

When I heard a whistle blowing and the big wheels a turning

I was scared as I could be

I put on my overalls and I headed for town

I'm going to bring her back with me

I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there

I told him all about her pretty eyes and long blonde hair

He spit his tobacco said I'll be dad blamed

I believe I did see her leaving on the east bound train

I bought a round trip ticket on the east-bound train

I was broke as I could be

But when I come back I got to buy another ticket

Going to bring her back with me
