The cat came back

The cat came back There are many versions of the song. In one, the cat is yellow. One version goes something like: first verse Now old Mr. Johnson had some troubles of his own, He had a scarlet cat that just wouldn't leave his home, 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, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner, The cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away. alternate chorus But the cat came back he wouldn't stay away, He was sitting on the porch the very next day.
