Trout Fishing In AmericaThe Cat Came Back Lyrics:
Now old Miss Johnson lived all alone
Had an old yeller cat that wouldn't leave home.
She tried everything she knew
To make the cat go away
[Chorus:]
But the cat came back the very next day
Thought he was a goner,
But the cat came back 'cause
he wouldn't stay away.
She gave him to a boy goin' out in a boat,
And she gave the boy a dollar
Just to set the cat afloat
Well the boat tipped over and the boy drowned
Two miles away, they picked the boy up drowned,
[Chorus]
And she gave him to a man goin' up in a balloon
And asked him for to leave him
with the man in the moon.
Well the balloon burst and
back to earth it head,
Six miles away they picked the man up dead.
[Chorus]
And she took him to the butcher
when the butcher wasn't
around
And she dropped him in the
hopper when the butcher
wasn't around.
Well the cat let out with a horrible shriek,
And the town's meat tasted furry for a week
[Chorus]
Now old Miss Johnson lived all alone
Had an old yeller cat that wouldn't leave home.
She tried everything she knew
To make the cat go away.
[Chorus]
