Testo Cat and Mouse - Ry Cooder
Testo della canzone Cat and Mouse (Ry Cooder), tratta dall'album My Name Is Buddy
Well I had an Uncle Charlie
Back in my hometown
Said don't take no mice to be your friend
Cause they'll wait til you're asleep
And steal your money and your food
And rat you out when the police come around
Later on I started travelin'
Seen somethin' of this world
And I learned to know a thing or two
Just because you've been told a story back in your hometown
Don't have to mean that story's always true
I remember it was winter
And things were goin' bad
It rained and it snowed all day long
Nobody would feed me and I couldn't find no job
In a factory or workin' on a farm
I was layin' in my suitcase
And the snow was fallin' down
I didn't know what I was gonna do
When I heard a tiny voice
Out there in the dark
Sayin' brother can I come in there with you
Well right here in my bag
I got some real good cheese
And a crust of bread or two
If you let me come in there and get out of the snow
I'll share what I got with you
Don't take no mice to be your friend
Was the rule Uncle Charlie always told
But the north wind kept howlin'
And the snow kept blowin' down
And I couldn't leave him out there in the cold
Well he said his name was Lefty
And he'd been travelin' 'round
The secrets of this world to share with you
Bow straps are set right handed
Get your cheese out from the left
We are many buddy, they are few
He said they'll tell you lies to make you doubt your fellow man
Like cats and mice just can't get along
Well it suits the bosses buddy
And it serves them fine
Cause it keeps us workin' folks from bein' strong
There's a better world a-comin' buddy
Which side are you on
Don't let the big men take it buddy
Which side are you on
It's your country too buddy
Which side are you on
It's time to take a stand buddy
Which side are you on
Boy it's a fact
Mice ain't no good
Ol' Charlie always said they'll treat you bad
But I'm here to tell you people
And I want it understood
Lefty is the truest friend I'd ever had
