Lyrics Tom Cat Blues - Jorma Kaukonen

Tom Cat Blues

I’ve 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 steppin' around the town
And if you got your heat turned on
You better turn your damper down»
-Yodel-
-Dobro Solo-
Ring Tail Tom on a fence
The old pussy cat on the ground
Ring Tail Tom come off of that fence
And they went around and around
Lord, he’s quick on the trigger
He’s a natural born crack shot
He finds a new target every night
And he sure does practice a lot
-Yodel-
-Dobro Solo-
He makes them roustabout
He makes them roll their eyes
They just can’t resist my Ring Tail Tom
No matter how hard they try
You better watch old Ring Tail Tom
He’s boss around the town
He won’t have a pussy cat
Tomcattin' around
-Yodel-
-Dobro Solo-
Ring Tail Tom is the stuff
He struts around the town
All the pussy cats in the neighborhood
Can’t get old Ring Tail down
He’s always running around
Just can’t be satisfied
He goes out every night
With a new one by his side
-Yodel-
-Dobro Solo-
