《Mean Eyed Cat》歌词

[00:00:00] Mean Eyed Cat - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:08] I gave my woman half my money at the general store

[00:00:12] I said "Now buy a little groceries and don't spend no more "

[00:00:17] But she paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat

[00:00:20] And bought some store-bought cat food for that mean-eyed cat

[00:00:26] When I woke up this mornin' and I turned my head

[00:00:29] There wasn't a cotton pickin' thing on her side of the bed

[00:00:34] I found a little ol' note where her head belonged

[00:00:38] It said "Dear John honey baby I'm long gone "

[00:00:43] When I heard a whistle blowin' and the big wheels a-turnin'

[00:00:48] I was scared as I could be

[00:00:52] I put on my overalls and I headed to town

[00:00:56] Gonna bring her back with me

[00:01:02] I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there

[00:01:06] I told him all about her pretty eyes and long blonde hair

[00:01:11] He spit his tobacco said "I'll be dad blamed

[00:01:14] I believe I did see her leavin' on the east-bound train "

[00:01:19] I bought a round-trip ticket on the east bound train

[00:01:24] I was broke as I could be

[00:01:28] But when I come back I gotta buy another ticket

[00:01:32] Gonna bring her back with me

[00:01:39] Well I got off the train somewhere in Arkansas

[00:01:42] And I worked up the guts to call my mother-in-law

[00:01:47] She said "I'll tell you where she is if you act right

[00:01:51] She's workin' four-to-twelve at Trucker's World tonight "

[00:01:56] Well when I walked in she saw me and she took off her apron

[00:02:01] And she grabbed her goin'-home hat

[00:02:04] She bought a ticket with her tips Now we're curled up on the sofa

[00:02:09] Me and her and that mean-eyed cat
