I was happy in my little cabin
Just my chickens and me
I was happy in my little cabin
Just my chickens and me
The wild wolf and the wicked wildcat
Didn't have no cause to bother me

Late last night
Wildcat come a creepin' 'round my door
Late last night
Pretty wildcat come a creepin' 'round my door
Came me down this morning
All my chickens weren't there no more

Well I loved my little chickens
But wildcat she don't pay no mind
Well I loved my little chickens
But wildcat she don't pay no mind
She just hunt where she pleases
Leaving only devastation behind

Promise me brother
Bar your door to temptation and sin
Promise me brother
Bar your door to temptation and sin
No matter how beguiling
Never let that wildcat in
