Mean Eyed Cat

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I give my woman half my money at the general store I said, now buy a little groceries, and don't spend no more But she paid ten dollars for a ten-cent hat And bought some store-bought cat food for a mean-eyed cat When I give her ten more dollars for a one-way ticket She was mad as could be Then I bet ten more that if she ever left She'd come a-crawlin' back to me When I woke up this mornin' and I turned my head There wasn't a cotton-pickin' thing on her side of the bed I found a little note where her head belonged It said, dear John, honey, baby, I'm long gone When I heard a whistle blowin', and the big wheels a-turnin' I was scared as I could be I put on my overalls and I headed for town Gonna bring her back with me I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there I told him all about her pretty eyes and long, blonde hair He spit his tobacco, said, I'll be dad-blamed I believe I did see her leavin' on the Eastbound train I bought a round-trip ticket on the Eastbound train I was broke as I could be But when I come back, I gotta buy another ticket Gotta bring her back with me
