Long ago, on a windy, rainy day
Long long ago on windy, rainy day
My good old English tomcat passed away

On days like this, he always woke up late
Yeah on days like this, he always woke up late
But he never will wake up again, my mate

And then he stretched and yawned and walked straight up to me
Yeah then he stretched and yawned and walked straight up to me
He was the best friend there could ever be

Oh Lord, oh Lord please bring him peace and rest
Yeah Lord, oh Lord, please bring him peace and rest
Carry him well, let him lay down on your chest

Watch about him, as you watch 'bout me
Watch about him, as you watch 'bout me
Because he was my best friend and forever will be

Yesterday, 't was a windy, rainy day
Yesterday, 't was a windy, rainy day
I found a little Tomcat and I think that he may stay
