Maltese Cat Blues Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

(Say man, I went out gay cattin′ last night,
and my gal she threw a party for me. Ooh gee, it was tight like that)

Rats is mean in my kitchen, I done lost my Maltese cat
Rats is mean in my kitchen, and I've lost by Maltese cat
I′m gonna make things right with my
good gal, man, and it's tight like that


I'm gon′ start walkin′, walk the shoes clean off of my feet
I'm gon′ start walkin', walk the shoes clean off of my feet
Been thinkin′ 'bout my mama, and, man, that woman sure is sweet

I ain′t got no suitcase, I just have me one bottle of gin
I ain't got no suitcase, I stole me one bottle of gin
I got to stay drunk to keep warm, because my clothes is so thin

Long, lonesome train come passin' me a-flyin′
Long, lonesome train come passin′ me a-flyin'
I was thinkin′ 'bout my mama, and I didn′t pay that train no mind

When you've got a home, tired of Maltese cats
When you got a home, and are tired of Maltese cats
Get a good dark brownskin, man, it′s tight like that
