Tom Cat Goodbye

Tom Cat Goodbye - Audra McDonald Lyrics

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 you been to?
Hey there, Tom Cat, say, where you been to?
I'm so lonely, been crying waiting up for you
Ya hear that, ya hear that?
I got your name Tom, I got your children
What about the children? Tom Cat, Tom Cat
You old rat, you old rat, where you been to?

Johnny cheated, Frankie killed him
Johnny cheated, said Frankie killed him
Shot and killed him, don't blame her
I'd'a done it too
Ya hear that, ya hear that?
You deal and promise
You kiss and swing low
Foot slippin' out the window, Tom Cat, Tom Cat
You old rat, you old rat where you been to?

You know you're never gonna make a moviemaker, Tom
You know you're never gonna make a moviemaker, Tom
You know you're never gonna make a moviemaker
Always be a city faker, Tom, Tom
Never gonna make a movie maker, Tom
Oh Tom, Tom
Never gonna make a movie maker
Never make a movie maker
Never gonna make a movie maker
Always be a city faker, Tom
No, Tom, I can't go on Tom
I can't keep pushin', and pushin', pushin', pushin' on
Pushin' on

I quit lovin' you, lovin' you
Baby, I'm going to the country, gonna buy me land
I'm going to the country to kill my lover man
Gonna kill my lover man, gonna kill my lover
Gonna kill my lover man, gonna kill my lover man
Gonna kill my lover man

You don't try, you don't care
You don't care, you know, child
You run like a chicken from the Pan, yeah baby
What'd you say now?

Hey there, Tom cat
You walk like a tom cat
You run like a tom cat
You treat me like a tom cat
He cheats like a tom cat
And you lie

Can I find him?
Can I find him?
Can I find him?

Gonna kill my lover man
My man
