Delmar Lemming - The cat came back

Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat that would never 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, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away

The man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight
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 they 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, it just couldn't stay away

He gave it to a man going up in a balloon
He told him to take it to the man in the moon
The balloon came down 'bout 90 miles away
And where the man is now well I cannot say...

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

Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat that would never 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, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away
Stay away... Stay away... Stay away... Stay away...

Yeah, 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
