Went home last night, heard a noise, I asked my wife what was that   Went home last night, heard a noise, I asked my wife what was that   Said man don't be so suspicious, that ain't nothin' but a cat      Lord I traveled this world all over mama, takin' all kinds of chance   Travelin' this world all over mama, takin' all kinds of chance   But I never come home before, seein' a cat wearin' a pair of pants      Lord I wouldn't call him cat man, if he'd come around in the day   Wouldn't call him cat man, if he'd come around in the day   But he waits till late at night woman, when he can steal my cream away      Lord I want that cat man to stay away from my house, Lordy when I'm out   Lord I want that cat man to stay away from my house, oh Lord when I'm out   'Cause I believe he's the cause of my woman, wearin' the mattress down      Said I went home last night, actin' just quiet as a lamb   Said I went home last night, actin' quiet as a lamb   I never raised no stuff man, till I heard my backdoor slam
