The Cat came back

Em D C7 H7

Old Mr. Johnson had trouble all his own

Em D C7 H7
He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home

Em D C7 H7

He tried in every way to keep that cat away

Em D C7 H7
Took him up to Canada and told him for to stay.

Em D C7 H7

But the cat came back the very next day

Em D C7 H7
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner

Em D C H7 Em
But the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away.

The cat was a possessor of a family all its own
With seven little kittens till there was a cyclone
Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around
The air was full of kittens and not a one was found.

But the cat cameback...

They gave the cat to a man in a balloon
And told him to give him to the man in the moon
But the balloon it busted and everybody said
Ten miles away they picked the man up dead.

But the cat cameback...

The farmer on the corner said he'd shoot that cat on sight
Loaded up his shotgun full of nails and dynamite
And he hid in the garden till the cat came round
But 97 pieces of that man were all they found.

But the cat cameback...
