geniaal kattengejammer

geluisterd naar Pussycat Moan van Katie Webster

Op een bandje dat ik in 1991 tijdens een bluesnacht heb opgenomen, kwam ik
Katie Webster tegen met een klaagzang over haar drinkende echtgenoot. Wat een wijf!

Katie Webster (1936-1999)
Because, baby, this here pussycat
Aint gonna be your pussycat
no more
So many days, since you’ve been away
I often think of you my sweet baby
I think of you both night and day
But some day, someday my sweet baby
You won’t be no trouble, you won’t worry my life anymore
 
But, baby, you just goin around spending my money
Chasing every single woman in town
But listen man, if you knew didn’t want my lovin
Why the hell would you stop, stop and put my dollars down
 
You know that is the one thing, the main thing baby
That could get you a lifetime home in the ground
 
But, baby, why’d you tell my best friend that you didn’t want me, Nore?
But I know that’s a lie because every time I turn my back
You’re trying to sneak back into my back door
And I’m telling you, I’m warning you if you don’t stop all that jive
And stop trying to be so high classed
Somebody’s gonna shoot you right dead in your….
 
I can’t understand
Why don’t you just pack your bags
Don’t you see I don’t need you no more
Because my other man is just waitin
For you to step out of that front door
But is said I’m sorry baby
I warned you
And now I’m for really
Because, baby, this here pussycat
Aint gonna be your pussycat no more
