She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride
She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride
My baby caught the Katy, left me a mule to ride
The train polled out, and I swung on behind
I'm crazy 'bout her, that hardheaded woman of mine

Man my baby's long, great god she's mighty she's tall
You know my baby's long, great god she's mighty my baby she's tall
Well my baby she's long, my baby she's tall
She sleeps with her head in the kitchen and her big feet out in the hall
And I'm still crazy 'bout her, that hardheaded woman of mine

Well I love my baby, she's so fine
I wish she'd come and see me some time
If you don't believe I love her, look what a hole I'm in
If you don't believe I'm sinking, look what a shape I'm in


She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride
She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride
Well my baby caught the Katy, left me a mule to ride
The train polled out, and I swung on behind
I'm crazy 'bout her, that hardheaded woman-
hardheaded woman of mine

Chorus:

You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free

Let's go back let's go back let's o way on back when
I didn't even know you. You couldn't 'o been too much more than 10
I ain't no psychiatrist I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much IQ to see what you're doin' to me

(Chorus)

Freedom (freedom), Freedom (freedom)

There ain't nothing you could ask I can answer what you want
But I was gonna change my mind if you keep doin' things I don't

(Chorus)

People walkin' 'round everyday planning games and taking scores
Tryin to make other people lose their minds well be careful you don't lose
yours

(Chorus)

You need me and I need you
Without each other there ain't nothing we can do

(vamp)

Oh Freedom (freedom) Freedom (freedom) . . .

There ain't nothing you could ask I can answer what you want
But I was gonna change my mind if you keep doin' things I don't

(Chorus)

You need me and I need you
Without each other there ain't nothing we can do

(vamp)

Freedom . . .
Think ! . . .

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'
Though the streams are swollen..
Keep them doggies rollin'
Rawhide!

Rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side
All the things I'm missin
Good viddles love and kissin
Are waitin at the end of my ride.

Chorus:

Move em' on,..... Head em' up,.......
Head em' up,..... move em' on
Move em' on,..... Head em' up,.......

Cut em' out,..... ride em' in,.....

Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though their dissaprovin',
Keep them doggies movin'
Rawhide!

Don't try to understand them,
Just rope, throw and brand em'
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide.
My hearts calculatin'
My true love will be waitin',
Be waitin' at the end of my ride.

Hey folks here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a low-down Hoochie Koocher

She was the roughest toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi)
Hodey odey odey oh
(Hodey odey odey oh)
Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee
(Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee)
Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho)

She messed around with a bloke named smokey
She loved him though he was cokey

He took her down to Chinatown
And showed her how to kick the gong around

Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi)
Whooooooooaaaap!
(Whooooooooaaaap!)
Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee
(Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee)
Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho)

She had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with the platinum wheels

-----

He gave her is townhouse and his racin' horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times

-----

Poor Min'
Poor Min'
Poor Min'....

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block was a dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block was a dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block was a dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block was a dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block was a dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
