Hellcat (BBC In Concert / Live At The Venue, UK / 20 September 1979) Songtext
von Rory Gallagher

Well, there′s a hellcat, loose cat, hear it wail
It can stop you down the street, you cannot get away
Well, it's gonna get to you, got the demon power

You got to run, run, brother you know your soul′s on fire
You got to run, run, brother you know your soul's on fire

Well, there's a strange, strange feeling chilling your hands
A shadow in your doorway, freeze you where you stand
You play your dice with the Devil, now it′s much too late

Well, don′t you know you got a hellcat on your trail
Well, don't you know you got a hellcat on your trail


The sound that haunts you from the dark will dawn
Don′t go away, no more when the morning comes
There's a step on the stairs, a storm in your sails

That you know you got a hellcat by the tail
Yeah, you′ve done and got a hellcat on your trail
Oh yeah

Well, there's a hellcat, loose cat, hear it moan
Stalking your shadow all night long
It′s the darkest feeling this side of hell

Well, don't you know you got a hellcat by the tail
You know you've got a hellcat by the tail

Well, hellcat, well, hellcat
Well, hellcat, well, hellcat
