LYRICS

Rosie Pearl is a big blond 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 - I 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've you been to?

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

You know you're never gonna make a movie maker, Tom?
You know you're never gonna make a movie maker, Tom?
You know you're never gonna make a movie maker, always be a silly faker, Tom, Tom...
Never gonna make a movie maker, Tom...
Oh, Tom, Tom, never gonna make a movie maker,
Never make a movie maker, no, never make a movie maker, always be a silly faker, Tom...

No, Tom, I can't go on, Tom;
I can't keep pushin', and pushin', and pushin', and 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, gonna kill my lover,
Gonna kill my lover man, gonna kill my lover man, gonna kill my lover man, uh...

You know, Tom, he don't care, He don't care...
You know, Tom...
run like a chicken from the pen, babe - what you say now?

Hey there, Tom Cat! Well, he walks like a tom cat, he runs like a tom cat,
Goes fishing like a tom cat, he cheats like a tom cat - He lies!

Can I find him?
Can I find him?
Can I find him?
Gonna kill him;
My lover man!
My man...
