Now, Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own
   Am           G        F                  E
He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home
   Am        G        F             E
He tried and tried to give the cat away
   Am           G         F         E    E7
He gave it to a man going far, far away
 
[Chorus]
N.C.    Am       G        F         E
But the cat came back the very next day
        Am       G          F                E
Oh, the cat came back, they thought he was a goner
        Am       G        F             E     Am    G     F     E
But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away, away, away, away

[Verse 2]
       Am           G           F          E
So, he gave it to a woman going up in a balloon
   Am              G              F          E
He told her for to take it to the man in the moon
       Am        G            F             E
The balloon came down, about, ninety miles away
    Am                 G            F      E    E7
And where the woman is now, well, I cannot say
 
[Chorus]
N.C.    Am       G        F         E
But the cat came back the very next day
        Am       G          F                E
Oh, the cat came back, they thought he was a goner
        Am       G        F             E     Am    G     F     E
But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away, away, away, away

[Verse 3]
      Am           G         F       E
So he gave it to a man going way out west
   Am              G              F                E
He told him for to take it to the one he loved the best
Am              G                  F                  E
First the train hit the track, and then it jumped the rail
    Am         G       F              E     E7
And nobody was left to tell the awful tale
 
[Chorus]
N.C.    Am       G        F         E
But the cat came back the very next day
        Am       G          F                E
Oh, the cat came back, they thought he was a goner
        Am       G        F             E     Am    G     F     E
But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away, away, away, away
    Am       G        F         E
The cat came back the very next day
        Am       G          F                E
Oh, the cat came back, they thought he was a goner
        Am       G        F             E     Am    G     F     E      Am
But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away, away, away, away
