Trad - The Cat Came Back
[Verse 1]
Em D C B7 Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat which wouldn't leave its home
He tried and he tried to give the cat away
He gave it to a man going far, far away
[Chorus]
Em D C B7 But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away
[Verse 2]
Em D C B7 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 90 miles away
And where he is now I dare not say
[Chorus]
Em D C B7 But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away
[Verse 3]
Em D C B7 He gave it to a man goin' 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
[Chorus]
Em D C B7 But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away
