Edit 4 for headphones, January 2022. For a deeper experience of the song... For some reasons * I think this is the best song from the album. On vinyl it sounds way better, hence this edit.
Recorded April 3, 1968. Released on the album "Beggars Banquet" in 1968.
Source file of the edit is "Beggars Banquet" (1989 European reissue, London 800 084-2).
Mellotron: Brian Jones. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Electric guitars and bass: Keith Richards. Drums: Charlie Watts. Piano: Nicky Hopkins. Congas: Rocky Dijon.
* one of the reasons: the sound of the two solo guitars on the left and on the right channel; a majestic find ! ! !
STRAY CAT BLUES
(Jagger/Richards)
ah...
yeah, I got some tail
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you're no scare-eyed honey
there'll be a feast if you just come upstairs
but it's no hanging matter
it's no capital crime
I can see that you're fifteen years old
no I don't want your I.D.
I can see that you're so far from home
but that's no hanging matter
it's no capital crime
oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I Bet, bet your mama don't know you scream like that
I bet your mother don't know you can spit like that
you look so weird and so lost from home
but you don't really miss your mother
don't look so scared I'm not no mad-brained bear
but it's no hanging matter
it's no capital crime
oh, yeah
woo!
I bet your mama don't know that you scatch like that
I bet she don't know you can bite like that
you say you got a girlfriend, that she's wilder than you
why don't you bring her upstairs
if she's so wild then she can join in too
it's no hanging matter
it's no capital crime
oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet you mama don't know you can bite like that
I'll bet she never saw you scratch my bac
