And who are you, the proud lord said,

that I must bow so low?

Only a cat of a different coat,

that's all the truth I know.

E5
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
                                 F#5
a lion still has claws,
    G5                           F#5
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
   G5        F#5      E5
as long and sharp as yours.

    E5               G5
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
     E5             G5
that lord of Cast-a-mere,
    C5                  B5
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
     G5      F#5      E5
with no one there to hear.

    C5                  B5
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
    G5     F#5     E5
and not a soul to hear. (2x)
