The Cat Came Back

Lyrics

Old man Johnson had some problems of his own. He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave him alone. He tried and he tried to give the cat away, He gave it to a man going far, far away.

Chorus: But the cat came back the very next day, Yeah! The cat came back, they thought he was a goner But the cat came back. He just couldn't stay away, away, away. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

He gave it to a man going up in a balloon Told him to give it to the man in the moon The balloon came down about 20 miles away And where that man is we just can't say.

Chorus:

He gave it to a boy with a dollar note. He told the boy to take it up river in a boat. They tied a weight around his neck, about a thousand pounds. They dredged the river for the little boy who drowned.

Chorus:

He gave it to a man going way out west. He told the man to give it to the one he loves best. The train skipped the track and then it hit the rail, No one is alive to day to tell you the tale.

Chorus:

The man 'round the corner said he'd shoot the cat out of sight. So he loaded up his gun with nails and dynamite. He waited and he waited for the cat to come around, Ninety-seven pieces of the man are all people found.

Chorus:

The H-bomb fell just the other day, The A-bomb fell in the very same way, Russia went, China went, and the USA The human race was destroyed without a chance to pray

Chorus:

中文歌词

老约翰逊有他自己的麻烦事。 他有一只黄猫，那猫总是不让他清静。 他试了又试想把猫送走， 他把它给了要去很远很远地方的一个人。

Chorus:
但是猫第二天就回来了，是的！
猫回来了，他们以为他完蛋了
但是猫回来了。他就是离不开，离不开，离不开。
耶，耶，耶！

他把它给了那个乘气球上升的人
告诉他把它交给月亮上的那个人
气球降落在大约20英里外的地方
而那个人在哪里，我们就是说不出。

副歌：

他用一张一美元钞票给了那个男孩。 他告诉男孩乘船把它带到河上游。 他们在他的脖子上绑了一个重物，大约一千磅。 他们为那个淹死的男孩而挖掘河底。

副歌：

他把它给了那个远赴西部的男人。 他告诉那个男人把它给最爱的人。 火车脱轨，然后撞上了铁轨， 今天没有人活着来告诉你这个故事。

副歌：

街角的男人说他要把猫射得不见踪影。 所以他用钉子和炸药装满了他的枪。 他等待着，等待着猫转过来， 人们找到的只有男人九十七块碎片。

副歌：

氢弹刚刚在几天前落下，
原子弹以同样的方式落下，
俄罗斯完了，中国完了，美国也完了
人类种族被摧毁，没有机会祈祷

副歌：
