My dad always said "The cat came back, the cat came back, thought he was a goner but the cat came back". He told me it was a song & I should look it up. He passed away Sunday. Today I listen with a smile and a tear. Thanks for posting. ❤
My broken hearted daughter's cat came back after a week. My husbands cat had been gone for 4 years and came back and died on the 5th day. My 14 year old cat recently passed away so my 💔 is broken.
I just introduced this song to my 50 year old son by another artist.( the song, not my boy!) He responded by sending me this version after I had told him about Lee Morre. I remember hearing it often in my teens while in Selma Ala. with USAF. I can remember at least once hearing Lee start it with "had an ole Thomas cat". I was always uplifted by this song. I thought Lee wrote it. Guess a lot of people wrote it.
During the early 1950s I used to listen to Lee Moore and Juanita on, I believe, WWVA; the Coffee Drink'in Nighthawk was then, and remains today, a real favorite of long standing. I was real disappointed when the dear lady one evening was not on the program, never returned to the microphone; never knew why. Many thanks to the uploader!
Wow....this takes me back to 1944-45 when I was still in Grade School....Lee Moore & Juanita and little Roger made a personal appearance at Clearbrook (Stonewall) High School near Winchester, VA. Lee Moore was on WSVA Harrisonburg as daily program... I love this song.
Ooo thanx mucho, my daddy used to sit me on a kitchen chair & use the fiddle or guitar and would sing to me for hours...this was one of his favorites.. I was his best audience :) ty for the memories...

TV's only went to like channel 14 around that time. lol. long time back... lol. you were a star that burned out to soon. I'll join you before not to long. peace.

When i was 10 years old i take guitar class
Lived in upstate NY. In 1950 was 11 years old & used to stay up late on Sat. Night to listen to lee Moore from WWva. Loved that song. Still Sing it.
this sounds very different from "the cat came back the very next day" song I used to hear at camp.

We sang this in school
I loved listening to him over WWVA in the early 60s! Just loved his guitar playing...
My parents used to play this song when I was a kid,
Brings back memories of youth in 1938/39 listening to the Sat nite Jamboree on WWVA

Brings back memories our cat when away and didn’t come back for long awhile so it was a joke for my family love song
Wonderful version of a good song... and I love the guitar picking.
Yeah Lee, I remember! Lamphers, Tavern. Lazuere NY. Lived around the corner from Me. Wynantskill. What a talent..
Oh wow - I also remember this from WWVA Jamboree - in the 40's
love it love it love it!
Very good, thank you. I had never heard the new verse before.
