Cat S In The Well lyrics

by Bob Dylan

The cat`s in the well, the wolf is looking down.
The cat`s in the well, the wolf is looking down.
He got his big bushy tail dragging all over the ground.

The cat`s in the well, the gentle lady is asleep.
Cat`s in the well, the gentle lady is asleep.
She ain`t hearing a thing, the silence is a-stickin` her deep.

Bridge #1:
The cat`s in the well and grief is showing its face
The world`s being slaughtered and it`s such a bloody disgrace.

The cat`s in the well, the horse is going bumpety bump.
The cat`s in the well, and the horse is going bumpety bump.
Back alley Sally is doing the American jump.

Bridge #2:
The cat`s in the well, and pappa is reading the news.
His hair is 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
The night is so long and the table is oh, so full

Bridge #3:
The cat`s in the well and the servant is at the door.
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war.

The cat`s in the well, the leaves are starting to fall
The cat`s in the well, leaves are starting to fall
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
