Gene Vincent, real name Vincent Eugene Craddock, (February 11, 1935 – October 12, 1971) was an American rockabillypioneer musician, best known for his hit Be-Bop-A-Lula. He performed with his backing band, the Blue Caps. After Be-Bop-A-Lula had become a huge hit (peaking at #7 and spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Pop Chart), Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with the same level of commercial success, but released critically acclaimed songs like Race With The Devil(#96 in Billboard) and Bluejean Bop(#49). Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in England and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US.

Wild Cat Lyrics

Gene Vincent

Dont ever try, to tame a wild cat
Youd just be wastin your time
Just leave like you found me
Dont put no cage around me, oh-no, not me
You want a lamb, but Im a wild cat
If you just keep that in mind
Ill let you hug and pet me
And then you gotta let me go free
Let me be
Youre a crazy, little kitten
But you just dont understand
Oh dont you chain me
Or try to train me
And youll have me eatin outta your hand
So dont forget that Im a wild cat
And well just get along fine
The wild cats what they name me
No kittens gonna tame me, oh-no, not me
(move over tiger)
Youre a crazy, a-little kitten
But you just dont understand
Oh dont you chain me
Or try to train me
And youll have me eatin outta your hand
So dont forget that Im a wild cat
And well just get along fine
The wild cats what they name me
No kittens gonna tame me, oh-no, not me.
Oh-no, not me, oh-no, not me, oh-no
