Can Man Blues Songtext
von Blind Boy Fuller

Went home last night, heard a noise, I asked my wife what was that
Went home last night, heard a noise, I asked my wife what was that
Said man don't be so suspicious, that ain't nothin' but a cat

Lord I traveled this world all over mama, takin' all kinds of chance
Travelin' this world all over mama, takin' all kinds of chance
But I never come home before, seein' a cat wearin' a pair of pants


Lord I wouldn't call him cat man, if he'd come around in the day
Wouldn't call him cat man, if he'd come around in the day
But he waits till late at night woman, when he can steal my cream away

Lord I want that cat man to stay away from my house, Lordy when I'm out
Lord I want that cat man to stay away from my house, oh Lord when I'm out
'Cause I believe he's the cause of my woman, wearin' the mattress down

Said I went home last night, actin' just quiet as a lamb
Said I went home last night, actin' quiet as a lamb
I never raised no stuff man, till I heard my backdoor slam
