Johnny Cash Miscellaneous Mean Eyed Cat (1960) 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 gave ten dollars for a ten-cent hat And got some store bought cat food for her mean eyed cat When I give her ten more dollars for a one-way ticket She was mad as she could be Then I bet ten more that if she ever left She'd come a crawling back to me When I woke up this morning and I turned my head There wasn't a cotton-picking thing on her side of the bed I found a little old note where her head belonged It said, "Dear John, honey, baby, I'm long gone." When I heard a whistle blowing and the big wheels a-turning I was scared as I could be I put on my overalls and I headed to 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 leaving on the east bound train." I bought a round trip ticket on the eastbound train I was broke as I could be But when I come back, gotta buy another ticket Gotta bring her back with me Well, I got off the train somewhere in Arkansas And I worked up the guts to call my Mother-In-Law She said, "I'll tell you where she is, if you act right." "She's working four to twelve at Trucker's World tonight." When I walked in she saw me, and she took off her apron And she grabbed her going home hat She bought a ticket with her tips And now we're curled up on the sofa Me and her and that mean eyed cat |
