Thread Name: Lyr Add: Cat's Got the Measles (Walter Smith)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Cat's Got the Measles
Chorus:
"Doggone a man let a woman be his boss."

I hear the next verse as
"Thought I heard a rockin' deep down in the ground (x2)
It musta been the devil a-chainin' my good gal down."

next ? line is "to carry me through this cock-eyed world."

next ? is "my chief oc'pation's takin' women from the monkey men."

Actual personnel are Walter "Kid" Smith, vocal, with Posey Rorer on fiddle and Norman Woodlieff on guitar (Richmond, IN, 20 March 1929, mx 14943, released on Gennett 6825 plus a couple of pseudonymous cheap label reissues on Champion and Supertone, the latter credited to "Jerry Jordan").
