Howling Tom Cat Blues (1934)

Now don’t you hear me mama: I’m begging at your door
Now I’m begging now mama: Don’t treat me this way no
More
Says I’m here begging mama: Down on my bended knees
I’m begging now mama: Don’t treat me this way no more if
You please
Says you hear me mama: Rapping on your
Back door
But if I get what I want mama: I won’t rap no more
Now don’t you hear me mama: Howling at your door
But if you give me what I want mama: You won’t hear me
Rap no more
Now listen here mama: Treat me in a lowdown way
But if I get what I want mama: You’ll see me walk away
I’m at your door howling: Like an old tomcat
But most any man now: Will howl about something like
That
