It's on my mine
It takes it's toll
I spent my 80th birthday all alone
I worked all my life
I couldn't save a dime
Now I just hang here
Dead cat on the line
♪
I remember it all
The strike of '62
Ride on the transport in 1942
and I told him how it was
when they walked off the line
and got a room above the bar
Now I'm a dead cat on the line
hung out to die
it doesn't matter anyway

You can't go out
You can't show yourself
They'll find you out
They'll get you some help
You could be locked up with a room mate
and they'd think that's fine
I ain't a baby
I'm a dead cat on the line
hung out to die
it doesn't matter anyway

Maybe I had a wife
pretty and young
Maybe we had a family
Maybe we all got along
Maybe we squeaked by
Scratching for each dime
Maybe I'm just an old bum
I'm a dead cat on the line
hung out to die
it doesn't matter anyway

I took a walk
to get my check
to get some food
to get a little lift
levins must be up
it's like taking 10 on a dime
no one even sees me
I'm a dead cat on the line
hung out to die
it doesn't matter anyway

TV is garbage
Radio is a bore
My memories are fading
now they only torture me
and this room above the bar is
getting smaller all the time
I sleep but I never dream
I'm a dead cat on the line
hung out to die
it doesn't matter anyway
