The Cat Came Back Lyrics - Laurie Berkner

Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own 

He had a yellow cat that 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, we thought he was a goner 

But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away. 

Away, away, yea, yea, yea 

So he gave it to a woman 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 balloon is, where i can't say

But the cat came back the very next day, 

The cat came back, we thought he was a goner 

But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away. 

Away, away, yea, yea, yea 

So 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, then it jumped the rail, 

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