[Verse 1]
D
Well the other night when I came in

                         G
Just as drunk as I could be

   D                  G
Got tangled up in the old door latch

     D           A               D
Fell flat on the floor as I could be
[Verse 2]
D
I had a little ol' bottle of rum

                      G
And I did not have anymore

   D                    G
The cap came off when I fell down

    D        A        D
And I spilt it in the floor
[Verse 3]
D
Well a rat came out from his hiding place and

                  G
He got that whiskey scent

   D                    G
He ran right up and got him a little shot

    D            A      D
And back to his hole he went
[Verse 4]

And back to his hole he went

D                        G
And back to his hole he went

He ran right up and got a little shot

    D           A       D
And back to his hole he went
[Verse 5]
D
Well he came out from his hole again

D                          G
Trotted up to the rum on the floor

D                            G
Witha little bitty shine he wink one eye

D              A              D
And he got him a little drink more
[Verse 6]
D
Well he didn't go back to his hole that time

                        G
He stayed by the pool of gin

   D                     G
He said "Doggone, my pop eyed soul,

   D        A         D
I'm a gonna get drunk again."
[Verse 7]
D
Well he didn't go back to his hole

                    G
He said "Doggone, my soul,

    D                  G
I'm only a rat but a [G]doggone cat

     D          A         D
Can't chase me back to my hole."
[Verse 8]
D
He washed his face with his front paws

                     G
And on his hind legs sat,

    D                                   G
And he's a getting' pretty high when he winked one eye

   D             A         D
He says, "Where's that old tom cat?"
[Verse 9]
D
Now where's that old tom cat?

                         G
I said, where's that old tom cat?

     D                             G
He's a getting' high when he winked one eye

   D            A            D
He says where's that old tom cat.
N.C. . . . I bet I could lick him and his brother! [Verse 10]
D
The old tom cat come a slippin' in

                             G
Dashed over to the middle of the floor

  D                          G
The cat jumped over and the rat got sober

    D      A             D
And he never got drunk no more.
[Verse 11]
D
He didn't get drunk no more

                        G
No he never got drunk no more

    D                        G
The cat jumped over and the rat got sober

   D          A           D
And he never got drunk no more.
