The Cat Came Back
Stompin' Tom Connors

Old Bill Lewis had troubles of his own

He had an old black cat that wouldn't leave home

Tried everything he could to give the cat away

He even gave him to the preacher and told him where to stay

But the cat came back the very next day

The cat came back they thought he was a gonner

But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away


Oh the cat was a terror so they though it was best

To give him to a fellow who was goin' out west

Now the train has smashed when it hit a broken rail

Not one single person lived to tell the tale

But the cat came back the very next day

The cat came back they thought he was a gonner

But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away


And the cat had company out in the back yard

Someone threw a boot and it hit him awful hard

It hit him right behind the ear and he thought there was a fight

When down came a chimney brick and drove hime outta sight

But the cat came back the very next day

The cat came back they thought he was a gonner

But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away


Oh the cat the birds all sittin' in a bunch

Upon the electric wire said he'd eat em for his lunch

He climbed up the pole till he reached the top

Put his foot on the electric wire tied him in a knot

But the cat came back the very next day

The cat came back they thought he was a gonner

But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away


We'll they gave him to a fella goin' up in a balloon

And they told the guy to take the cat to the moon

But the balloon it busted and everybody said tem miles away they picked the guy up dead

But the cat came back the very next day

The cat came back they thought he was a gonner

But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away


Now the farmer on the corner said he'd shoot the cat on sight

So he filled up his gun with nails and dynamite

He waited in the garden until the cat came around

Seven little pieces of the man was all they found

But the cat came back the very next day

The cat came back they thought he was a gonner

But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away


Yeah, they thought he was a gonner

But the cat came back cause he wouldn't, no he wouldn't stay away.
