Johnny Cash, Flatt & Scruggs, Papa Charlie Jackson - The Cats Got The Measles Songtexte

Now the cat's got the measles: Dog's got the whooping
Cough
Doggone a man: Let a woman be his boss

Now I ain't no devil: Crawl in a lion's den
But my chief occupation: Taking women from their
Monkey‑men

Says I ain't good‑looking: My teeth don't shine like
Pearls
But I've got something babe: To carry me through this
Big darn world

Now I think I heard a rumbling: Deep down in the ground
Well it must have been the devil: Chaining my good gal
Down

Now the men don't like me: Just because I speak my mind
But the women cry papa: Just because I take my time
