Now old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own, |
| [00:47.70] |
He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home, |
| [00:50.00] |
He tried and he tried to get that cat away, |
| [00:54.00] |
Gave it to a man going far away. |
| [00:56.19] |
But the cat came back, the very next day, |
| [00:59.50] |

Now the man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight, |
| [01:11.80] |
He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamites, |
| [01:14.80] |
He waited and he waited for the cat to come around, |
| [01:18.00] |
Ninety-seven pieces of the man is all they found. |

Gave it to a little boy with a dollar note, |
| [01:36.80] |
Told him for to take it up the river in a boat, |
| [01:39.80] |
They tied a rope around its neck it must've weighed a pound, |
| [01:42.80] |

Gave it to man going up in a balloon, |
| [02:01.40] |
Told him for to take it to the man on the Moon, |
| [02:04.50] |
The balloon came down about 90 miles away, |
| [02:07.80] |
Where he is now, I dare not say. |
| [02:10.80] |

| [02:29.80] |
First, the train hit the curve, then it jumped the rail, |
| [02:32.80] |
Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale. |

Away across the ocean he did send the cat at last, |
| [02:51.80] |
Vessel out alone today taking water fast, |
| [02:54.80] |
People all began to pray the boat began to toss, |
| [02:57.80] |
A great big gust of wind came by and every soul was lost. |
| [03:00.80] |
But the cat came back, the very next day, |
| [03:03.80] |
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner, |

On a telegraph wire, sparrows sitting in a bunch, |
| [03:16.50] |
The cat was feeling hungry, thought she'd like them for a lunch, |
| [03:19.80] |
Climb softly up the pole, when she reached the top, |
| [03:23.00] |
Put her foot in the electric wire, which tied her in a knot. |

| [03:41.60] |
With seven little kittens and along came a cyclone, |
| [03:44.20] |
Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around, |
| [03:47.80] |
The air was full of kittens and not a one was found. |

Just wouldn't stay away. |
