The Cat Came Back

O Gato Voltou

The Cat Came Back

O velho Bill Lewis tinha seus próprios problemasOld Bill Lewis had troubles of his own
Tinha um gato preto velho que não queria sair de casaHe had an old black cat that wouldn't leave home
Tentou de tudo pra dar o gato pra alguémTried everything he could to give the cat away
Até deu pro pastor e disse onde ele ia ficarHe even gave him to the preacher and told him where to stay
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinteBut the cat came back the very next day
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido emboraThe cat came back they thought he was a gonner
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastarBut the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away

Oh, o gato era um terror, então acharam que era melhorOh the cat was a terror so they though it was best
Dar ele pra um cara que tava indo pro oesteTo give him to a fellow who was goin' out west
Agora o trem descarrilhou quando bateu em um trilho quebradoNow the train has smashed when it hit a broken rail
Ninguém sobreviveu pra contar a históriaNot one single person lived to tell the tale
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinteBut the cat came back the very next day
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido emboraThe cat came back they thought he was a gonner
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastarBut the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away

E o gato tinha companhia no quintalAnd the cat had company out in the back yard
Alguém jogou uma bota e acertou ele bem forteSomeone threw a boot and it hit him awful hard
Acertou bem atrás da orelha e ele achou que era brigaIt hit him right behind the ear and he thought there was a fight
Quando caiu um tijolo da chaminé e o fez sumirWhen down came a chimney brick and drove hime outta sight
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinteBut the cat came back the very next day
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido emboraThe cat came back they thought he was a gonner
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastarBut the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away

Oh, o gato, os pássaros todos empoleiradosOh the cat the birds all sittin' in a bunch
Na fiação elétrica disseram que ele ia comer eles no almoçoUpon the electric wire said he'd eat em for his lunch
Ele subiu no poste até chegar no topoHe climbed up the pole till he reached the top
Colocou a pata na fiação elétrica e se amarrouPut his foot on the electric wire tied him in a knot
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinteBut the cat came back the very next day
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido emboraThe cat came back they thought he was a gonner
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastarBut the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away

Então deram ele pra um cara que ia subir de balãoWe'll they gave him to a fella goin' up in a balloon
E disseram pro cara levar o gato pra luaAnd they told the guy to take the cat to the moon
Mas o balão estourou e todo mundo disse que a dez milhas de distância pegaram o cara mortoBut the balloon it busted and everybody said tem miles away they picked the guy up dead
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinteBut the cat came back the very next day
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido emboraThe cat came back they thought he was a gonner
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastarBut the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away

Agora o fazendeiro na esquina disse que ia atirar no gato à vistaNow the farmer on the corner said he'd shoot the cat on sight
Então ele encheu a arma com pregos e dinamiteSo he filled up his gun with nails and dynamite
Ele esperou no jardim até o gato aparecerHe waited in the garden until the cat came around
Sete pedacinhos do homem foi tudo que encontraramSeven little pieces of the man was all they found
Mas o gato voltou no dia seguinteBut the cat came back the very next day
O gato voltou, pensaram que ele tinha ido emboraThe cat came back they thought he was a gonner
Mas o gato voltou porque não queria se afastarBut the cat came back cause he wouldn't stay away

É, pensaram que ele tinha ido emboraYeah, they thought he was a gonner
Mas o gato voltou porque não, ele não queria se afastar.But the cat came back cause he wouldn't, no he wouldn't stay away.
