i’d like to sing you a little song about mister johnson’s cat
here’s the way it goes
[verse]
old mister johnson had trouble of his own
he had an old yeller cat that wouldn’t leave his home
tried everything he knew to keep the cat away
he gave him to the preacher and he told him fer to stay
[chorus]
but the cat come back, they thought he was a goner
but the cat come back on the vеry next day
the cat come back, hooray for mistеr johnson
oh, the cat come back on the very next day
[verse]
now, mister johnson give him to a man in a balloon
he told him fer to give him to the man in the bal–, in the moon, heh
doggone, that balloon and moon got mixed up
well, the balloon, it busted, and everybody said
it was forty miles away or more, they picked the man up dead
[chorus]
but the cat come back, hooray for mister johnson
oh, the cat come back ’cause he couldn’t stay away
the cat come back, they thought he was a goner
but the cat come back on the very next day
[verse]
now, the cat, he was a terror, and they thought it was the best
to gave him to a feller that was goin’ out west
the train was goin’ around a curve, struck a broken rail
not a single soul aboard the train was left to tell the trail
[chorus]
but the cat come back, heh
hooray for mister johnson
oh, the cat come back on the very next day
well, the cat come back, they thought he was a goner
but the cat come back on the very next day
[verse]
well, a little boy took him with a twenty~dollar note
to the middle of the river in a little open boat
tied a rock around his neck, it weighed forty pound
now they fishin’ in the river for a little boy that’s drowned
[chorus]
but the cat come back, they thought he was a goner
but the cat come back on the very next day
the cat come back, hooray for mister johnson
but the cat come back ’cause he couldn’t stay away
[verse]
well, a man on the corner swore to k!ll the cat on sight
he loaded up his musket with nails and dyneemite
he waited on the corner for the cat to come around
half~a~dozen little pieces of the man was all they found
[chorus]
but the cat come back, they thought he was a goner
but the cat come back ’cause he couldn’t stay away
the cat come back, hooray for mister johnson
oh, the cat come back on the very next day
