The Cat Came Back
Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own He had a yellow cat who wouldn't leave its home He tried and he tried to give the cat away He gave it to a man goin' far, far away.
But the cat came back the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a goner But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away. (Give me a miao. Miaoooo!)
Now the man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite He waited and he waited for the cat to come around Ninety seven pieces of the man is all they found.
But the cat came back the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a goner But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away. (Give me a miao. Miaoooo!)
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon He told him for to take it to the man in the moon The balloon came down about ninety miles away Where he is now, well I dare not say.
But the cat came back the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a goner But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away. (Give me a miao. Miaoooo!)
So he gave it to a man going way out West Told him for to take it to the one he loved the best Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com First the train hit the curve, then it jumped the rail Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale.
But you now what?
But the cat came back the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a goner But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away. (Give me a miao. Miaoooo!)
Now the cat was a possessor of a family of its own With seven little kittens till there came a cyclone Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around The air was full of kittens, and not a one was ever found.
But the cat came back the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a goner But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away. (Give me a miao. Miaoooo!) Sing it all again! But the cat came back the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a goner But the cat came back; he just couldn't stay away. (Give me a miao. Miaoooo!) Louder Miao (Miaoooo!) Louder (Miaoooo!) Little quiter Quiter miao (Miaoooo!) quiter (Miaoooo!)
