Black Cat Hiding
Words and music by Bob Menzies

I was stranded in the wilderness, freezing rain in my shoes
I was stranded in the wilderness, freezing rain in my shoes
I was singing the last verse, from the Folsom Prison Blues

You took a walk on hard street , came out on the other side
You took a walk on hard street , came out on the other side
There’s fools behind the bushes; I can’t believe how hard you tried

There’s a black cat hiding up inside your room
There’s a black cat hiding up inside your room
She got rings on her fingers I hope she gets out soon

Passed your place the other day while I was walking down your street
Passed your place the other day while I was walking down your street
You would not believe all the strange things you see

You got new people now I wonder where you found them all
You got new people now I wonder where you found them all
I saw a circus clown and a monkey about two feet tall

There’s a black cat hiding up inside your room
There’s a black cat hiding up inside your room
She got rings on her fingers I hope she gets out soon

Well if that monkey won’t dance, you can send him on over to me
If that monkey won’t dance, you can send him on over to me
I’ll put some paint on his toenails, then I’ll set him free

I guess in the end all of this won’t matter too much
I guess in the end all of this won’t matter too much
But if you send me your address, I’ll be sure the monkey stays in touch

There’s a black cat hiding, up inside your room
There’s a black cat hiding, up inside your room
She’s got rings on her fingers, I hope she gets out soon

She got rings on her fingers, I hope she gets out soon
