The Cat Came Back Lyrics - The Cat Came Back - Fred Penner

Now, Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own 

He had a yellow cat who wouldn't leave his home; 

He tried and he tried to give the cat away, 

He gave it to a man going 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 "Meow", go 

 

Now, the man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight, 

So 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 that they found. 

 

But you know...? 

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 "Meow", go 

 

So 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 the man is now, well I dare not say. 

 

But you know...? 

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 "Meow", go 

 

So he gave it to a man going way out West, 

He told him for to take it to the one he loved the best; 

First the train hit the track, then it jumped the rail, 

Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale. 

 

But you know what? 

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 "Meow", go 

 

Now, the cat was a possessor of a family of his own, 

With seven little kittens till there came a cyclone; 

It tore the houses all apart and tossed the cat around, 

The air was filled with kittens, but not 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 "Meow", go 

 

Sing it all again, now 

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 "Meow", go 

Louder "Meow"! 

LOUDEER! 

A little quieter... 

Quieter "Meow" 

*meeooww* 

Quieter now 

*meooww* 

Quieter 

*meoww* 

Shh! As quite as you can 

*meow*
