Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own
Em G C D
He had a yellow cat which wouldn't leave his home
Em G C D
He tried and he tried to give the cat away
Em G C D
He gave it to a man goin' far, far away
Em G C D
But the cat came back the very next day
Em G C D
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
Em G C D
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay
Em G C D
Awaaaayyyyy
Em G C D
The farmer on the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight
Em G C D (NC)
He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite 'Click Click'

Ninety seven pieces of the man is all they found

He gave it to a man with a dollar note
Em G C D
He took him up the river in a boat
Em G C D

Em G C D
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon
Em G C D
He told him to take it to the man in the moon
Em G C D
The balloon came down about ninety miles away
Em G C D
Where he is now, well I dare not say

They sneaked into the shop with the butcher not around
Em G C D
And they dropped him in the hopper where the meat was ground
Em G C D
The old cat disappeared with a blood-curdling shriek
Em G C D
And that shop's hamburger tasted furry for a week...
Em G C D

Em G C D
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
Em G C D
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay

Em G C D
They threw him in the kennel where the dog was asleep
Em G C D
And the bones of cats lay piled in a heap
Em G C D
That ol' kennel burst apart and the dog flew out the side
Em G C D
With his ears chewed off and holes in his hide...
Em G C D
But the cat came back the very next day
Em G C D

Em G C D

Then they found a way this cat they'd really fix
Em G C D
They put him in an orange crate on Highway Sixty-Six
Em G C D (NC)
A long come truck with a twenty ton load 'SPLAT'
Em G C D
Scattered pieces of orange crate a mile down the road...
Em G C D
But the cat came back the very next day
Em G C D

Em G C D
Awaaaayyyyy
Em G C D
They took him down to Cape Canaveral and put him in place
Em G C D
And they shot him in a satellite way into space
Em G C D
They thought that cat was beyond human reach
Em G C D (NC)
Then they got a phone call from Miami Beach, sayin'..."MEOW'
Em G C D
But the cat came back the very next day
Em G C D

The atom bomb fell just the other day
Em G C D
The H-Bomb fell in the very same way
Em G C D
Russia went, England went, and then the U.S.A.
Em G C D
The human race was finished without a chance to pray
Em G C D
But the cat came back the very next day
Em G C D
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
