Tom Cat Blues or Ring Tail Tom



I got an old tom cat

When he steps out

All the pussycats in the neighborhood

They begin to shout



"Here comes Ring Tail Tom

He's boss around the town

And if you got your heat turned up

You better turn your damper down"



Ring Tail Tom on a fence

The old pussy cat on the ground

Ring Tail Tom come off that fence

And they went 'round and 'round



Lord, he's quick on the trigger

He's a natural born crack shot

He got a new target every night

And he sure does practice a lot



He makes them roustabout

He makes them roll their eyes

They just can't resist my Ring Tail Tom

No matter how hard they tries



You better watch old Ring Tail Tom

He's running around the town

He won't have no pussy cats

Come a-tomcattin' around



Ring Tail Tom is the stuff

He's always running around

All the pussy cats in the neighborhood

Can't get old Ring Tail Tom down



He's always running around

Just can't be satisfied

He goes out every night

With a new one by his side
