Cat And Mouse - Ry Cooder[00:00:01]

Well I had an Uncle Charley back in my hometown[00:00:18]

Said Don't take no mice to be your friend[00:00:23]

'Cause they'll wait till you're asleep and steal your money and your food[00:00:29]

And rat you out when the police come around[00:00:34]

Later on I started travellin' seeing something of this world[00:00:39]

And I learned to know a thing or two[00:00:45]

Just because you've been told a story back in your hometown[00:00:50]

Don't have to mean that story's always true[00:00:56]

I remember it was winter and things were goin' bad[00:01:07]

It rained and it snowed all day long[00:01:13]

Nobody would feed me and I couldn't find no job[00:01:18]

In a factory or workin' on a farm[00:01:24]

I was laying in my suitcase and the snow was falling down[00:01:29]

I didn't know what I was gonna do[00:01:35]

When I heard a tiny voice out there in the dark[00:01:40]

Saying Brother can I come in there with you[00:01:45]

Well right here in my bag I got some real good cheese[00:01:56]

And a crust of bread or two[00:02:02]

If you let me come in and get out of the snow[00:02:07]

I'll share what I got with you[00:02:13]

Don't take no mice to be your friend[00:02:19]

Was the rule Uncle Charley always told[00:02:23]

But the north wind kept howling and the snow kept blowin' down[00:02:29]

And I couldn't leave him out there in the cold[00:02:35]

Well he said his name was Lefty and he'd been traveling round[00:02:45]

The secrets of this world to share with you[00:02:51]

Mouse traps are set right-handed get your cheese out from the left[00:02:56]

We are many Buddy they are few[00:03:02]

He said They'll tell you lies to make you doubt your fellow man[00:03:07]

Like cats and mice just can't get along[00:03:13]

Well it suits the bosses Buddy and it serves them fine[00:03:18]

'Cause it keeps us working folks from bein' strong[00:03:24]

There's a better world a coming Buddy[00:03:29]

Which side are you on[00:03:33]

Don't let the big men take it Buddy[00:03:35]

Which side are you on[00:03:38]

It's your country too Buddy[00:03:40]

Which side are you on[00:03:43]

It's time to take a stand Buddy[00:03:46]

Which side are you on[00:03:49]

Play[00:03:51]

Boy it's a fact mice ain't no good[00:04:13]

Old Charley always said they'll treat you bad[00:04:19]

But I'm here to tell you people and I want it understood[00:04:25]

Lefty is the truest friend I'd ever had[00:04:33]
