Well there's a hell cat, loose cat, hear it wail

It can stop you down the street, you cannot get away

Well it's gonna get to you, got the demon power

You got to run, run, brother you know your soul's on fire

You got to run, run, brother you know your soul's on fire Well there's a strange, strange feeling chilling your hands

A shadow in your doorway, freeze you where you stand

You play your dice with the devil, now it's much too late

Well don't you know you got a hell cat on your trail

Well don't you know you got a hell cat on your trail The sound that haunts you from the dark will dawn

Don't go away no more when the morning comes

There's a step on the stairs, a storm in your sails

That you know you got a hell cat by the tail

Yeah, you've done and got a hell cat on your trail Oh yeah

Well, there's a hell cat, loose cat, hear it moan

Stalking your shadow all night long

It's the darkest feeling this side of hell

Well don't you know you got a hell cat by the tail

You know you've got a hell cat by the tail Well hell cat, well hell cat

Well hell cat, well hell cat
