The Cat Came Back

The cat came back, the cat came back
I thought he was a goner
But, the cat came back
'Cause he wouldn't stay away
Now, old uncle John had troubles of his own
Had an old yellow cat that wouldn't leave home
He tried everything he knew to keep the cat away,
Even gave it to a preacher and he told em for to stay
But, the cat came back, the cat came back
I thought he was a goner
But, the cat came back
'Cause he wouldn't stay away
Now they gave the old cat to the man in a balloon
They told him to leave him with the man in the moon
The balloon it bursted and everybody said 
Ten miles away they picked the man up dead
But, the cat came back, the cat came back
I thought he was a goner
But, the cat came back
'Cause he wouldn't stay away
Now the farmer on the corners gonna kill a cat at sight
He loaded up his gun full of nails and dynamite
Well he waited in the garden till the cat came around
Seven little pieces of the man was all they found
But, the cat came back, the cat came back
I thought he was a goner
But, the cat came back
'Cause he wouldn't stay away
Well the cat was a terror
And they thought it was best
To give him to a fella who was headen out west
The train went around the corner
And it hit a broken rail
Not a soul aboard the train lived to tell the tale 
But, the cat came back, the cat came back
I thought he was a goner
But, the cat came back
'Cause he wouldn't stay away
