Old mister Johnson

Had trouble of his own

He had a yaller cat

That wouldn't leave home
He did everything he could

To keep the cat away

He gave him to a preacher

And he told him for to stay
But the cat came back

The very next day

The cat came back

Though he was a goner
He gave it to a man

Going way out west

Told him to take it

To the one he loved best
First the train hit the cuwe

Then itjumped the rail

Not a soul was left behind

To tell the gruesome tail
But the cat came back

The very next day

The cat came back

Though he was a goner
But the cat came back

'Cause he couldn't stay away
Away across the ocean

They did send the cat at last

Vessel only out a day

And taking water fast
People all began to pray
The boat began to toss

A great gust of wind came up

And every soul was lost
But the cat came back

The very next day

The cat came back

Though he was a goner
