Testo The Cat Came Back

Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own He had a yellow cat which just wouldn?t leave his home He tried and he tried to give the cat away Gave it to a man going far away But the cat came back, the very next day The cat came back, they thought she was a goner, But the cat came back, she just wouldn?t stay away Now, the man around the corner swore he'd shoot the cat on sight. He loaded up his shotgun full with nails and dynamite. He waited... and he waited... for the cat to come around And ninety-seven pieces of the man was all they found... But the cat came back the very next day. The cat came back, they thought she was a goner, But the cat came back, just wouldn't stay away. He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note Told him for to take it up the river in a boat They tied a rope around its neck it must have weighed a pound Now they drag the river for the little boy that's drowned But the cat came back the very next day. The cat came back, they thought she was a goner, But the cat came back, just wouldn't stay away. He gave it to a man going up in a balloon Told him for to take it to the man on the moon The balloon came down 'bout 90 miles away And where he is now, well, I dare not say But the cat came back the very next day. The the cat came back, they thought she was a goner, But the cat came back, just wouldn't stay away. He gave it to a man going way out west Told him for to take it to the one he loved the best First the train hit the curve and then it jumped the rail Not a soul was left behind to the tell the gruesome tale But the cat came back the very next day. The the cat came back, they thought she was a goner, But the cat came back, just wouldn't stay away Away across the ocean he did send the cat at last Vessel only out a day and taking water fast People all began to pray the boat began to toss A great big gust of wind came by and every soul was lost But the cat came back the very next day. Yes, the cat came back, they thought she was a goner, But the cat came back, just wouldn't stay away On a telegraph wire sparrows sitting in a bunch The cat was feeling hungry thought she?d take them for a lunch Climbed softly up the pole, when she reached the top touched unfriendly electric wire which tied her in a knot. But the cat came back the very next day. The the cat came back, they thought she was a goner, But the cat came back, just wouldn't stay away Now the cat was the possessor of a family of her own Seven little kittens till there came a cyclone Blew the houses all apart, tossed the cats around The air was full of kittens and not a one was found But the cat came back the very next day. Yes, the cat came back, they thought she was a goner, But the cat came back, just wouldn't stay away-way-way-way...... just wouldn't stay away
