But the cat came back the very next day,

The cat came back, they thought he was a goner

But the cat came back, he just couldn't stay a-way.

He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note. He told him for to take it up the river in a boat;

He tied a rope a-round its neck, it must have weighed a pound

Now they drag the river for a little boy that's drowned.

But the cat ......

The man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight,

He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dyna-mite;

He waited and he waited for the cat to come a-round,

Ninety seven pieces of the man is all they found.

But the cat......

The cat came back, they thought he was a goner

Dm C Bb

stay a-way,

stay a-way
