 THE ROLLING STONES - Stray Cat Blues Lyrics

- Jagger/Richards

[Thank you]
I hear the clip-clap of your feet upon the stairs
e1m21619h125116nmm1s
I know ya ain't no scare-eyed honey.
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs
It's no hanging matter, no
It's no capital crime

I can see that you're just thirteen years old
I don't want your I.D.
You look so lonesome and you so far from home
It's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime

Yeah, I'm a strange stray cat
Yeah, don'tcha scratch like that?
Yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Bet you mama don't know that ya bite like that
I bet she never heard ya scream like that..

You look so lonesome and I'm so far from home
But I don't really miss my mother
Don't look so scared I'm not no mad-brained bear
It's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
Yeah!

You say you got a friend she's wilder than you
Why don't you bring her upstairs
If she's so wild she can join in too
It's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime

Yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Yeah, why don'tcha bite like that?
Oh yeah, yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet you mama never saw ya you scratch like that
Bet she never saw ya bite like that
