She's half-deaf and half-blind
She's a good cat of mine
She hasn't been the same since her brother died
But neither have I, have I
She's all skin and bone, needs to put on some fat
Smokey the cat

She'd hunt all day and night, come back with mice
Bring 'em to the house while they were still alive
Some playful price
Be awhile till they die
But she's too old now, to do any that
Smokey the cat

She and her brother fight, they'd scratch and bite
But they loved each other
But her brother died, and that ain't right
That he died
Beth says, she feels alone, that she's ready to go
And that'll be that
Smokey the cat
