Bear Cat Papa Blues

(album: Blues Singer 1929-1931 - 1996)

Once I had a sweethaert
She said that she'd be mine
But she messed around with the other men
Drink whiskey, gin and wine
Once I caught her step in
She thought I'd gone away
So just as soon as she got home
Here's what I have to say
Mama, I'm a bear cat papa
And if you can't stay at home
I'll find another one for skidding
And it won't take me long
So if you try... your daddy
Good gal, you won't be alone
Mama, I'm a bear cat daddy
And I won't be treated like a hound
(Deyodelahee)

Mama, I'm a bear cat papa
There's nothing I won't do
So if you trouble on your daddy
I'm gonna hang a claw in you
So this is your last warning
Good gal, you better reform
Mama, I'm a bear cat papa
I was born in the middle of a [?]
Mama, I'm a bear cat papa
And I come from away out west
Half where the hooday yodel
Half where the sunshine's best
So if you step on your daddy
I got one to take your place
Mama, I'm a bear cat daddy
And I come from a bear cat race
