Well old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his ownHe had an 
old, yellow cat,
that wouldn't leave his home
He tried and he tried to get the cat away
He gave it to a man that was really far away...
But the cat came back the very next day
Oh the cat came back, no he thought it was a goner
but the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay
no way, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no,
The man around the corner said he'd shoot the cat out of 
sight.
so he loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite

But 97 pieces of that man was all they found...
But the cat cam back the very next day
Oh the cat came back, no he thought it was a goner
but the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay
no way, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
(guitar solo)
But the cat cam back the very next day
Oh the cat came back, no he thought it was a goner
but the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay
no way, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no-o
