The Cat Came Back

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 goin' 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
 Meow
 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
 Meow
 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
 Meow
 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
 Meow
 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
 Meow
 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
 Meow
 Louder "Meow"
 Meow
 Loudeer
 Meow
 A little quieter
 Meow
 Quieter "Meow"
 Meow
 Quieter now
 Meow
 Quieter
 Meow
