[intro stage banter: (cliffie stone), merle travis]
(boy with~a smilin’ pretty t~~th, and those nice irish eyes)
ah, thank you, cliff
(yeah he is, curly, he is)

and i’ll tell my optometrist explicitly what you said about my eyes
(it~it’s not op~optometri~pus, merle, it’s optimist, i mean optome–, um, alright forget it)

(yeah, no, they fix your eyes)
(you go ahead, and what are you gonna sing?)
sing about mister johnson’s cat
(alright)
this is mister johnson over here
[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 cliffie and told him fer to stay
[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
but the cat come back on the very next day
[verse]
well, the man on the corner swore he’d k!ll the cat on sight
he loaded up his musket with nails and dyneemite
he waited on the corner fer 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
well, the cat come back on the very next day
[verse]
well, a little boy took him with a forty~dollar note
to the middle of the river in a little open boat
he tied a rock around his neck, it weighed forty pounds
now they fishin’ in the river fer a little boy that’s drowned
[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
well, the cat come back on the very next day
[verse]
well, the cat, he was a terror, and they thought it was the best
to give 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 tale
[chorus]
but the cat come back, they thought he was a goner
but the cat come back on the very next day
well, the cat come back, hooray for mister johnson
but the cat come back ’cause he couldn’t stay away
[verse]
oh, mister johnson gave him to a man in a balloon
he told him fer to give him to the man in the moon
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, 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
but the cat come back on the very next day
