The Cat Came Back

A D E A D E A Now, old Uncle John had troubles of his own B E Had a old yellow cat that wouldn't leave home A He tried everything he knew to keep the cat away N.C. Even gave it to a preacher and he told it for to stay A But the cat came back A The cat came back A I thought he was a goner D E A But the cat came back 'cause he wouldn't stay away A D E (Bum bum bum ba-dum) A D E (Bum bum bum ba-dum) A Now he gave the old cat to the man in a balloon A B E He told him to leave him with the man in the moon A The balloon it busted and everybody said N.C. Ten miles away they picked the man up dead A But the cat came back A The cat came back A I thought he was a goner D E A But the cat came back 'cause he wouldn't stay away A D E (Bum bum bum ba-dum) A D E (Bum bum bum ba-dum) A Now the cat was a terror and he thought it was best B E To give it to a feller who was headin' out west A The train went around a corner and it hit a broken rail N.C. Not a soul aboard the train lived to tell the tale A But the cat came back A The cat came back A I thought he was a goner D E A But the cat came back 'cause he wouldn't stay away A D E (Bum bum bum ba-dum) A D E (Bum bum bum ba-dum) A Now the farmer on the corner's gonna k**l the cat on sight B E He loaded up his gun with nails and dynamite A Well, he waited in the garden till the cat came around N.C. Seven little pieces of the man is all they found... A But the cat came back A The cat came back A I thought he was a goner D E A But the cat came back 'cause he wouldn't stay away A D E (Bum bum bum ba-dum) A D E (Bum bum bum ba-dum) A (Bum) N.C. RAAAWWR! Bum.
