Sonny James - Cat Came Back 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 that cat away Even sent him to Australia and told him there to stay But 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 And then he gave that cat to a man in a balloon He promised that he'd take him straight up the moon The big balloon came down about 50 miles away And where that man was living now, no one can really say But 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 And then they took that cat and they thought it would be best To put him on a train that was going way out west The train was speeding down the track and then it hit a rock And all the people on that train suffered greatly from the shock... 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 They never did stop trying to send that cat away They had a different idea every single day They even mailed him in a box the whole world around But he always kept coming to his own home-ground Because 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 Oh yes, 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 Away, away, away, away...
