Howling Tom Cat Blues (1934) - Bo Carter

Now don’t you hear me mama: I’m begging at your door

Now I’m begging now mama: Don’t treat me this way no

More

Says I’m here begging mama: Down on my bended knees

I’m begging now mama: Don’t treat me this way no more if

You please

Says you hear me mama: Rapping on your

Back door

But if I get what I want mama: I won’t rap no more

Now don’t you hear me mama: Howling at your door

But if you give me what I want mama: You won’t hear me

Rap no more

Now listen here mama: Treat me in a lowdown way

But if I get what I want mama: You’ll see me walk away

I’m at your door howling: Like an old tomcat

But most any man now: Will howl about something like

That
