Tom Cat Blues Lyrics - Singles - Cliff Carlisle

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-
