Rory Gallagher Hell Cat song lyrics

Well, there's a hellcat, 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 hellcat on your trail

Well, don't you know you got a hellcat 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 hellcat by the tail

Yeah, you've done and got a hellcat on your trail

Oh yeah

Well, there's a hellcat, 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 hellcat by the tail

You know you've got a hellcat by the tail

Well, hellcat, well, hellcat

Well, hellcat, well, hellcat
