Maltese Cat Blues
I'm going to make things right with my good gal : man and it's tight like that
I'm going to start walking : walk the shoes clean off of my feet
Just thinking about my mama : and man that woman sure is sweet
I ain't got no suitcase : I don't have a one bottle of gin
I've got to stay drunk to keep warm : because my clothes is so thin
Long lonesome train : come passing me a‑flying
I was thinking about my mama : and I didn't pay that train no mind
When you get a‑home : buy a Maltese cat
And a good strong brownskin : man it's tight like that
