THE FROG AND THE MOUSE (KITTY ALONE) Sung by: Mrs. Claude Collie Recorded in Mountain Home, AR, 7/17/52 Click here to listen to the original recording Kitty lone, kitty lone, And a mouse lived in the mill, Kitty lone and I. There was a frog lived in the well, And a mouse lived in the mill. Rock ma rarey kitty lone, kitty lone and I. Gentleman frog got up to ride, Kitty lone, kitty lone. Gentleman frog got up to ride, Kitty lone and I. Gentleman frog got up to ride, Sword and pistol by his side. Rock ma rarey kitty lone, kitty lone and I. He rode till he came to the lady mouse hall, Kitty lone, kitty lone. He rode till he came to the lady mouse hall, Kitty lone and I. He rode till he came to the lady mouse hall, There he gave one knock and call. Rock ma rarey kitty lone, kitty lone and I. Lady mouse came stepping down . . . In her silk and satin gown . . . Pray kind miss will you have me . . . Answer the question I ask thee . . . Oh, kind sir, can't tell you that . . . 'Til I ask my uncle rat . . . Uncle rat came stepping home . . . Who's been here since I've been gone . . . A nice young man with a red coat on . . . Long legs, crooked thighs, bald head and big eyes . . . Saddle and the bridle and he hung on the shelf . . .
