Tom cat goodbye

Rosie Pearl

is a big blonde girl

and she sails around

like a steamboat

takes her time

and her eyes, they shine

for Tom

Hey there, Tom Cat

where've you been to?

hey there, Tom Cat

say, where've you been to?

I'm so lonely

been cryin'

waitin' up for you

you hear that?

you hear that?

I got your name, Tom

I got your children

what about the children?

Tom Cat

Tom Cat

you ole rat

where've you been to?

Johnny cheated

Frankie killed him

Johnny cheated

say, Frankie killed him

shot and killed him

I don't blame her

I'd a done it too

you hear that?

you hear that?

you deal and promise

you kiss and swing lo

footslippin' out the window

Tom Cat

Tom Cat

you ole rat

where've you been to?...
