the cat came back lyrics
[verse 1]
now old mister johnson had worries of his own
he had an old yella cat that wouldn’t leave home
tried everything he knew to do to keep the cat away
he took him up to canada and told him for to stay

[chorus]
but the cat came back the very next day
the old cat came back, thought he was a goner
but the cat came back; he wouldn’t stay away

[verse 2]
now this cat was a terror so they thought it was the best
to give him to a fella who was going out west
train ran around a curb and it hit a broken rail
not a blessed soul aboard the train lived to tell the tale

[chorus]
but the cat came back the very next day
the old cat came back, thought he was a goner
but the cat came back; he wouldn’t stay away

[verse 3]
now they throwed him in a kennel where the dog was asleep
ans the bones of cats lay piled in a heap
that kennel burst open and the dog came out the side
his ears chewed off and holes in his hide
[chorus]
but the cat came back the very next day
the old cat came back, thought he was a goner
but the cat came back; he wouldn’t stay away

[verse 4]
oh, they snuck him to a shop when the butcher wasn’t round
and they throwed him in the hopper where the meat is ground
the old cat disappeared with a blood+curdling shriek
and the towns mince meat tasted furry for a week

[chorus]
but the cat came back the very next day
the old cat came back, thought he was a goner
but the cat came back; he wouldn’t stay away

[verse 5]
now the farmer on the corner said he’d shoot the cat on site
loaded up his gun with nails and dynamite
he waited in the garden ’til the cat came around
seven little pieces of the man was all they found

[chorus]
but the cat came back the very next day
the old cat came back, thought he was a goner
but the cat came back; he wouldn’t stay away
[verse 6]
well they put him in a rocket ship heading for the stars
got a message back saying landed up on mars
saying the men were doing fine and the monkey and the rat
but they couldn’t find a trace of the old yella cat

[chorus]
but the cat showed up the very next day
the old cat came home, don’t know how he did it
but the cat came back; he wouldn’t stay away
no, he wouldn’t stay away
