Mean Eyed Cat (Live)

Mean Eyed Cat(Live) (Live) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

I give my woman half my money at the general store I said

"Now buy a little groceries and don't spend no more "

But she gave ten dollars for a ten cent hat

And bought some store bought cat food for a 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 mornin' and I turned my head

There wasn't a cotton pickin' 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 blowin' and the big wheels a-turnin'

I was scared as I could be

I put on my overalls and I headed to town

Gonna 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 leavin' 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

Gotta buy another ticket

Gotta bring her back with me
