SAME THING THE CATS FIGHT ABOUT
As recorded by Bo Carter and Walter Jacobs, 1930.

SPOKEN: Boy, you know I laid down last night tryin' to rest my mind and I couldn't rest for all them old cats fightin' all the time. I just had to get up and compose me a song about those cats.

I laid down last night tryin' to rest my mind.
I couldn't rest for cats fightin' all the time
About the same thing the cats all fights about.

Me and my gal had a fight.
We fussed and we quarreled all last night
About the same thing the cats all fights about.

Because I love women and she loves men,
That's the way this fuss began
About the same thing the cats all fights about.

SPOKEN: Even now old men are fightin' 'bout that.

Uncle Jack was old; his hair was white,
But he's still tryin' to fight
About the same thing the cats all fights about.

SPOKEN: Even down to the horses are fightin' 'bout that.

There is horses in the stall
Tryin' to kick the other one through the wall
About the same thing the cats all fights about.

Most all men getting' jealous at night.
You can find them fussin' and squabblin' all the time
About the same thing the cats all fights about.

SPOKEN: Most all women now is doin' the mess-around, man.

Most all women doin' the mess-around.
You can find them doin' it all over town
About the same thing the cats all fights about.
