Note: KJ is Kansas Joe and MM is Memphis Minnie;
Note 1: rat, as in many other blues songs, the rat symbolizes the male, as in this song, or male genitals;
Note 2: cat, again as in many other blues songs, the cat symbolizes the female or female genitals (pussy). In this song it is a powerful symbolic weapon in the fight against male supremacy. Needless to say that the male/the rat is not victorious in this song.
