tom waits had me a girl

tom waits had me a girl

Well I had me a girl in LA
I knew she couldn't stay
Had me a girl in San Diego
One day she just had to go
And I had me a girl Tallahassee
Boy what a foxy lassie

(chorus)
And my doctor says I'll be alright
But I'm feelin' blue
And my doctor says I'll be alright
And my doctor says I'll be alright
And my doctor says I'll be alright
But I'm feelin blue
And my doctor says I'll be alright
And my doctor says I'll be alright
And my doctor says I'll be alright

And I had me a girl in Mississippi
Oh she sure was kippy
Had me a girl in England
She done split for the mainland
And I had me a girl in New York
She up and pulled my cork

(repeat chorus)

Then I had me a girl in North Dakota
She was just fillin' her quota
Then I had me a girl in Chula Vista
I was in love with her sister
Then I had me a girl in

(repeat Chorus)

Then I had me a girl in France
Just wanted to get in my pants
had me a girl in Toledo
Boy she sure was neato
Then I had me a girl in North Carolina
She's still on my mind

(repeat chorus)

this video could be the stupidest thing, like a whale movin towards an earlgrey or somethin, but along as it was with a tomwaits song it would make it cool haha i love tom waits

[cciesiel22]

i only do bad vids. i'm working on something worse. I might expand on the whale/earlgrey thing.

[mooseutoo]

this isnt tom waits...who is it?

[cciesiel22]

yes, it is tom waits.

[ARmatey]

Actually it's Springsteen.

[cciesiel22]

no its tom waits..off of Early Years Vol. 1. He may have covered it. This is not his version....

[LandoftheShanks]

...this is Tom Waits guys. He used to sing "plainly" like this back when he first started out. Then he began the "husky" voice routine. I don't care because I love him either way, but you should definitely thoroughly research him before making snap judgments. Springsteen can't touch this.

Had me a Girl From North Carolina Shes Still on my mind...

Hits me everytime

It's about heart ache. One can get so blue that it takes a physical toll on you. No medication can heal a broken heart...

[KarmaNinja69]

This is lovely. Good old Tom with his unique sense of melody, with his complete Ninja ways with words, wow!!

[oisinallen]

@MrCreamyHawkins I'd say 1971-72, because this is one of those really early tracks which weren't re-discovered until the 1990s.

[RSBoots]

im feelin blueeee uu This made my day,,

[MrCreamyHawkins]

This IS Tom Waits via 1973....? Maybe that's not the right year but definitley early in his career.

[mdhattem]

This song has one of my favorite choruses of all-time. Absolutely beautiful.

[petepamf]

Possibly one of his best tunes.. 

[cealchyth]

@ARmatey It is most definitely NOT Springsteen. It's Tom Waits, before his voice got all raspy and raw and I've-been-smoking-cigarettes-a­nd-drinking-whiskey-all-my-lif­e.
