The Cat Came Back
Caller Name
Lawrence Johnstone
OPENER / BREAK / CLOSER

Circle Left
Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home

Left Allemande the Corner, Turn the Partner Right
Left Allemande and Weave the Ring tonight
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay
Away, away, away...

Break Lyrics

So he gave it to a woman going up in a balloon,
He told her to take it to the Man in the Moon

Closer Lyrics

So he gave it to a man going way out West,
Told him to take it to the one he loved the best

FIGURE

Heads/Sides Pass the Ocean, then Extend
Recycle 'round, then Slide Thru my friend
Pass Thru, Wheel & Deal, then you Zoom
Double Pass Thru, and Cloverleaf you do
Centers Pass Thru, the Corner you Swing
Keep that girl, Promenade the ring
The cat came back, it just couldn't stay
Away, away, away

TAG

He just couldn't stay
Away, away, away...
meow!
