Song Information:

Black Cat was Jimmy trying to keep house after Rosalee left.

An early rockabilly outing, or perhaps a late 40s jump blues. there's no genre for it here, so I'm calling it Acoustic. It's the eighth track posted from my 2009 RPM Challenge album.

EDIT this is now the CD version

Song Lyrics:

Black Cat hollers in the yard outside
pitch black tearing up the midnight sky
Black Cat on that fence patrol
down in the garden diggin that hole
before I can get my boots airborne
he's turn tail and gone gone gone
I swear I'll catch him
One of these days

Old Rat chewing on my floorboards
all my cupboards are scratched and gnawed
Old Rat sitting on my table top
foot in the butter print skipped and dropped
'fore I can get my boots airborne
he's turn tail and gone gone gone
I swear I'll catch him
One of these days


Who's that hanging around your window
Up that drainpipe arms akimbo
Who's that up there climbing that wall
Risky Business he might fall
'Fore I can get my boots airborne
he's turn tail and gone gone gone
I swear I'll catch him
One of these days

Rat tail Cat tail straight like that
Stepping on over that front door mat
Chase him out where I can aim
see him running and calling your name
'Fore I can get my boots airborne
he's turn tail and gone gone gone
I swear I'll catch him
One of these days
