lyrics

Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own
he had a yellow cat who, wouldn't leave his home
he tried and he tried to give the cat away
he gave it to a man who was going far away

But the cat came back the very next day
the cat came back the very next day
the cat came back, they thought he was a goner
but the cat came back
he just wouldn't stay away

Man around the corner said he'd kill the cat on site
he loaded up his shot gun with nails and dynamite
he waited and he waited for the cat to come around
97 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 the very next day
the cat came back
he just wouldn't stay away
