Stray Cat Blues Live At University of Leeds / 1971 by The Rolling Stones Lyrics

[Intro]
We'd like to do one for you now called..... "Stray Cat Blues"

It's pretty hot, inn'it?

[Verse 1]
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you ain't no scared-eyed honey
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs, y'all

[Refrain]
It's no hanging matter, no
It's no capital crime

[Verse 2]
I can see that you're thirteen years old
But I don't want your I.D
You look so lonesome, so far from home

[Refrain]
It's no hanging matter, no, little honey
It's no capital crime
[Chorus]
Yeah yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Yeah, don't you scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet your mama don't know that you scratch like that
I bet she never saw you bite like that

[Verse 3]
You look so lonesome, so far from home
Bet you don't really miss your mother
Don't look so scared I'm not a mad-brained bear

[Refrain]
It's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime, no no

[Chorus]
Oh, yeah
Woo!
Yeah

[Verse 4]
You say you got a friend, she's wilder than you
Why don't you bring her upstairs?
If she's so wild, she can join in too
[Refrain]
It's no hanging matter, no
It's no capital crime

[Chorus]
Ah yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Ah yeah, don't you bite like that
Yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet you mama don't know that you bite like that
I'll bet she never saw you scratch my back
I'll bet she never saw you bite like that
I'll bet she never saw you scratch my back

Woo! Thank you, thank you
