The Cat Came Back
Old Bill Lewis had troubles of his own
He had an old black cat that wouldn't leave home
Tried everything he could to give the cat away
He even gave him to the preacher and told him where to stay
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back they thought he was a gonner
But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away
Oh the cat was a terror so they though it was best
To give him to a fellow who was goin' out west
Now the train has smashed when it hit a broken rail
Not one single person lived to tell the tale
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back they thought he was a gonner
But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away
And the cat had company out in the back yard
Someone threw a boot and it hit him awful hard
It hit him right behind the ear and he thought there was a fight
When down came a chimney brick and drove hime outta sight
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back they thought he was a gonner
But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away
Oh the cat the birds all sittin' in a bunch
Upon the electric wire said he'd eat em for his lunch
He climbed up the pole till he reached the top
Put his foot on the electric wire tied him in a knot
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back they thought he was a gonner
But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away
We'll they gave him to a fella goin' up in a balloon
And they told the guy to take the cat to the moon
But the balloon it busted and everybody said tem miles away they picked the guy up dead
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back they thought he was a gonner
But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away
Now the farmer on the corner said he'd shoot the cat on sight
So he filled up his gun with nails and dynamite
He waited in the garden until the cat came around
Seven little pieces of the man was all they found
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back they thought he was a gonner
But the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away
Yeah, they thought he was a gonner
But the cat came back cause he wouldn't, no he wouldn't stay away.
O Gato Voltou
O velho Bill Lewis tinha seus próprios problemas
Tinha um gato preto velho que não queria sair de casa
Tentou de tudo pra dar o gato pra alguém
Até deu pro pastor e disse onde ele ia ficar
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinte
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido embora
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastar
Oh, o gato era um terror, então acharam que era melhor
Dar ele pra um cara que tava indo pro oeste
Agora o trem descarrilhou quando bateu em um trilho quebrado
Ninguém sobreviveu pra contar a história
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinte
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido embora
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastar
E o gato tinha companhia no quintal
Alguém jogou uma bota e acertou ele bem forte
Acertou bem atrás da orelha e ele achou que era briga
Quando caiu um tijolo da chaminé e o fez sumir
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinte
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido embora
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastar
Oh, o gato, os pássaros todos empoleirados
Na fiação elétrica disseram que ele ia comer eles no almoço
Ele subiu no poste até chegar no topo
Colocou a pata na fiação elétrica e se amarrou
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinte
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido embora
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastar
Então deram ele pra um cara que ia subir de balão
E disseram pro cara levar o gato pra lua
Mas o balão estourou e todo mundo disse que a dez milhas de distância pegaram o cara morto
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinte
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido embora
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastar
Agora o fazendeiro na esquina disse que ia atirar no gato à vista
Então ele encheu a arma com pregos e dinamite
Ele esperou no jardim até o gato aparecer
Sete pedacinhos do homem foi tudo que encontraram
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinte
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido embora
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastar
É, pensaram que ele tinha ido embora
Mas o gato voltou porque não, ele não queria se afastar.
