Pussy Cat

Pussy cat, pussy cat

Pussy cat, pussy cat

Well, I was born

In a little old house

In a town called Barrel Bay

I was eight years old

When I fell in love and

And it seems like yesterday

Down the old mill road

In a pretty house lived

Some folks not far from me

And they had a child

Only one year old

And a lovely babe to see

[CHORUS]

They called her Pussy Cat

Puss, Puss, Pussy Cat

For her hair was soft and fine

Pussycat, Puss, Puss, Pussy Cat

For her two big eyes would shine

She had a smile so sweet

And a great deal more than that

And she'd coo and purr

When I smiled at her with

A milky skin like silky fur

My Puss, Puss, Puss, Puss

Pussy Cat

Well, the years went by

And I grew quite tall

For I shot up like a vine

And I used to watch old Pussy Cat

Till she reached the age of nine

Then I said goodbye

For I left one year,

For a town in Iowa

And I didn't see anyone I knew

'Til I came back one fine day

[Repeat CHORUS]

Well, there she stood

Like a pretty rose and

My goodness, how she'd grown

But the sparkling eyes

And the turned-up nose

Looked the same though

Years had flown

Then I knew at once

She belonged to me

And I knew she felt the same

So our lives were joined

And our first new-born

Was a girl who bore her name

[Repeat CHORUS]

My Puss, Puss, Puss, Puss

Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat.
