paroles de chanson The Cat Came Back - Trout Fishing In America

Now old Miss Johnson lived all alone,
Had an ol' yeller cat that wouldn't leave home.
She tried ev'rything she knew to make the cat go away
But the cat came back the very next day;
Thought he was a gonner, but the cat came back,
'Cause he wouldn't stay away.

She gave him to a boy goin' out in a boat
And she gave the boy a dollar just to set the cat afloat.
Well the boat tipped over, and the boy drowned,
Two miles away, they picked the boy up drowned,
But the cat came back the very next day
Thought he was a gonner, but the cat came back,
'Cause he wouldn't stay away.

And she gave him to a man goin' up in a balloon,
And asked him for to leave him with the man in the moon.
Well the balloon burst and back to Earth it head,
Six miles away, they picked the man up dead,
But the cat came back the very next day
Thought he was a gonner, but the cat came back,
'Cause he wouldn't stay away.

(Here's a verse that was added by Stephen King, I think.)

And she took him to the butcher when the butcher wasn't around,
And she dropped him in the hopper when the butcher wasn't around.
Well the cat let out with a horrible shriek,
And the town's meat tasted furry for a week.
But the cat came back the very next day
Thought he was a gonner, but the cat came back,
'Cause he wouldn't stay away.

Now old Miss Johnson lived all alone,
Had an ol' yeller cat that wouldn't leave home.
She tried evrything she knew to make the cat go away,
But the cat came back the very next day;
Thought he was a gonner, but the cat came back,
Cause he wouldn't stay away
