Dead Cat Lyrics

There's a dead cat up the river
And he's smilin' back at me
There's a dead cat up the river
Let him be child, let him be

You keep askin' mama questions
Askin? where your old man go
There's a dead cat up the river
He ain't comin' back no more

Keep on walkin', keep on walkin? sister
Keep on walkin? down a gravel road
Keep on stumblin', keep on stumblin? brother
Keep on stumblin? on account o' my heavy load

There's a dead cat up the river
Aint no use in cryin' now
There's a dead cat up the river
Don't pay him no mind no how
Don't pay him no mind no how
Don't pay him no mind no how, yeah

Keep walkin? sister
Walk, walk sister

There's a dead cat up the river
Aint no use in cryin' now
There's a dead cat up the river
He ain't comin? back no how
Don't pay him no mind no how
Don't pay him no mind no how

[ab lib to end]
