TOM CAT BLUES
"Mr. Freddie" Spruell - 1928


It was late las' night, I tried so hard to sleep.
It was late las' night and I tried so hard to sleep.
When a mean old tom cat started on his midnight creep.

Tomcats in my window, tomcats all around my door.
Tomcats in my window, tomcats all around my door.
Never heard so much moanin' and whinin' all my life before.

I don't trust no tomcat, he got such an evil eye.
I don't trust no tomcat. got such an evil eye.
He's a' sneakin' and mistreatin', doubt it if that ain't no lie.

A tomcat man is tryin' to break up my home.
A tomcat man is tryin' to break up my home.
That's why it makes me mad when I hear a tomcat moan.

Oh Mr Tomcat, get some pussy of your own.
Mr Tomcat, get some pussy of your own.
Or you will lose your nine lives if you don't let my be
