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. ❤

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. Thanks for the memories.... Tom Ashton

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!

Lee and Juanita were divorced in 1960. He remarried 2 more times. Lee was a real prankster, a lot of fun to be around.

Pranksterism has been known to create dissention and unhappiness; perhaps that as much as anything else led to the divorces? Thank you for the kindness of a response. Much appreciated. Be well.

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.
