14. MR. SPACEMAN / THE WAMPUS CAT SONG (Roger McGuinn / Ron Martin - John M. Carter)
"The Byrds have been my biggest musical influence over the years, more than the Beatles or any other group or solo artist (with the exception of Herb Pedersen) and ‘Mr. Spaceman’ merged perfectly with Ron and John’s ‘Wampus Cat’ song". (Marco Zanzi)
"I’ve written and recorded ‘The Wampus Cat Song’ in 1984 with John Carter about a legendary monster creature Cat Fish in our hometown Dan River". (Ron Martin)
lyrics
MR. SPACEMAN/THE WAMPUS CAT SONG
Roger McGuinn/Ron Martin-J. M. Carter
Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why
Must be those strangers that come every night
Whose saucer shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue-green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home, allright
Hey, mister Spaceman
Won't you please take me along I won't do anything wrong
Hey, mister Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
Down by the riverside
Put the boat in at dawn
You bring the line* honey
I'll bring the wine honey
We'll have a real good time
Doing nobody no harm
We'll sail away baby
Nothing much to say baby
All the fish got away baby
But I brought my ’catch’ home
We'll fish the red-brown Dan
with a fishing pole in our hand
Sail up and down the land and
Sit back and float awhile
Old Wampus Cat can't be caught
So they say so they thought
Theres a lesson to be taught
When I bring that Wampus Cat in
INSTR. BREAK
Take your hook and bait it good
Check the wind speed like you should
Tell ya Baby to cook your food and
Sit back and float a while
Old Wampus Cat can't be caught
So they say so they thought
Theres a lesson to be taught
When I bring that Wampus Cat in
Down by the riverside
Put the boat in at dawn
You bring the line* honey
I'll bring the wine honey
We'll have a real good time
Doing nobody no harm
Woke up this morning I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window they'd written my name
Said so long we'll see you again
Hey, mister Spaceman
Won't you please take me along I won't do anything wrong
Hey, mister Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
Hey, mister Spaceman
Won't you please take me along I won't do anything wrong
Hey, mister Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
