Tampa Red - Dead Cat On The Line

You Chicago women run hand in hand
You run around with one another's man

There's a dead cat on the line
I ain't lyin', you the cheatin' kind
There's a dead cat on the line

You come home at night talking out your head
You have to take a bath before you go to bed

You in such a sniffer, gеtting mighty strong
When you shake hands you've got to hold it so long

Play it now
You brown-skin, your husband ain't fair
Your children are yelling, got curly hair

There's one thing I can't understand
You broke up your home and quit your regular man
