Someone had asked for the lyrics to "Stray Cat Blues" by the Rolling Stones.
This is as near as I can figure out:
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs, I know your loping stride, babe. I`ll be a beast if you just come up stairs, but It`s no hanging matter It`s no capital crime.
And I can see that you`re just fifteen years old But I don`t want your ID Don`t look so scared, I`m not not hair-brained bear
And it`s no hangin matter It`s no capital crime
Chorus
Oh yeah, you`re a strange stray cat, oh yeah, Won`t you scratch my back, oh yeah, You`re a strange stray cat, I bet, I bet your mama don`t know that you bite like that I bet your mama don`t know that you spit like that
You`ve got a friend, you say she`s wilder than you Why don`t you bring her upstairs? If she`s so wild then she can join in, too-- It`s no hangin` matter, It ain`t no capital crime
Chorus
You`re alone so far from home, But you don`t really miss your mother I`ve been so many times all all alone
But it ain`t no hangin` matter It ain`t no capital crime
