BLACK CAT BLUES
(Mel Priddle / Ty Smith)
Ty Smith - 2002


Well my cat done gone and left me
Left me sittin' home all alone
Well my cat has gone and left me
Decided it was time for him to roam

He had the best of everything
There was no reason for him to go
He had the best of everything
But maybe life was just too slow

Chorus:
Oh the road outside is busy
I wonder how he'll survive
Yeah, the road outside's so busy
He'll have trouble just stayin' alive

The woman next door, she fed him
So did the man at thirty-three
The woman next door done fed him
Some day she might do the same for me

I went to bed late last night
He was layin' out by the door
I woke early up this mornin'
And he sure wasn't there, there no more

Chorus

He's never been away from home before
Spoken: But now he's gone
I said he's never been away from home before
And now he's gone, long gone, long gone
