Mean Eyed Cat - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
Written by:Johnny Cash/John R. Cas[00:00:00]
I gave my woman half my money at the general store[00:00:09]
I said now buy a little groceries and don't spend no more[00:00:13]
Then she paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat[00:00:17]
And got some store-bought cat food for mean eyed cat[00:00:21]
When I give her ten more dollars for a one way ticket[00:00:26]
She was mad as she could be[00:00:30]
Then I bet ten more that if she ever left[00:00:35]
She'd come a crawlin' back to me[00:00:39]
When I woke up this morning and I turned my head[00:00:59]
There wasn't a cotton picking thing on her side of the bed[00:01:03]
I found a little old note where her head belonged[00:01:08]
It said dear John honey baby I'm long gone[00:01:12]
When I heard a whistle blowing and the big wheels a turning[00:01:17]
I was scared as I could be[00:01:21]
I put on my overalls and I headed for town[00:01:25]
I'm going to bring her back with me[00:01:29]
I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there[00:01:49]
I told him all about her pretty eyes and long blonde hair[00:01:54]
He spit his tobacco said I'll be dad blamed[00:01:58]
I believe I did see her leaving on the east bound train[00:02:02]
I bought a round trip ticket on the east-bound train[00:02:07]
I was broke as I could be[00:02:12]
But when I come back I got to buy another ticket[00:02:16]
Going to bring her back with me[00:02:20]
