lonesome polecat

i'm a lonesome polecat

lonesome

sad and blue

'cause i ain't got no

feminine polecat

vowin' to be true

can't make no vow

to a heard of cows

i'm a mean old hound dog

bayin' at the moon

'cause i ain't got no

lady friend hound dog

here to hear my tune

a man can't sleep

when he sleeps with sheep

i'm a little old hoot owl

hootin' in the trees

'cause i ain't got no

little gal owl fowl

here to shoot the breeze

can't shoot no breeze

with a bunch of trees

why can't i lose

these lonesome polecat blues?
