[Verse 1]
     A
Now, old Uncle John had troubles of 
his own
                          B        
Had a old yellow cat that wouldn't 
      E
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


[Chorus]
        A
But the cat came back
    A
The cat came back
  A
I thought he was a goner
        D                      
But the cat came back 'cause he 
 E             A
wouldn't stay away

 A       D      E
(Bum bum bum ba-dum)
 A       D      E

[Verse 2]
       A
Now he gave the old cat to the man 
in a balloon
   A                              
He told him to leave him with the 
B          E
man in the moon
    A
The balloon it busted and everybody 
said
N.C.
Ten miles away they picked the man 
up dead

[Verse 3]
        A
Now the cat was a terror and he 
thought it was best
To give it to a feller who was 
B           E
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


[Chorus]
        A
But the cat came back
    A
The cat came back
  A
I thought he was a goner
        D                      
But the cat came back 'cause he 
 E             A
wouldn't stay away

[Verse 4]
        A
Now the farmer on the corner's gonna
 kill the cat on sight
                          B        
He loaded up his gun with nails and
     E
 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...


[Chorus]
        A
But the cat came back
    A
The cat came back
  A
I thought he was a goner
        D                      
But the cat came back 'cause he 
 E             A
wouldn't stay away
