Lyrics:

The cat's in the well the wolf is looking down

The cat's in the well the wolf is looking down

He got a big bushy tail dragging all over the ground.



The cat's in the well the gentle lady is asleep

Cat's in the well gentle lady is asleep

She ain't hearing things silence is-a-stickin' her deep.



Cat's in the well and grief is showing it's face

The world's been slaughtered it's such a bloody disgrace.



The cat's in the well horses going bumpety bump

The cat's in the well horses going bumpety bump

But God is silent doing the American jump.



Cat's in the well and papa is reading the news

His hair's falling out and all of his daughters need shoes.



The cat's in the well and the barn is full of bull

The cat's in the well and the barn is full of bull

Tonight is so long and the table is oh so full.



The cat's in the well and the servant's at the door

The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war.



The cat's in the well and leaves are starting to fall

The cat's in the well and leaves are starting to fall

Goodnight my love may lord have mercy on us all.
