ONCE THERE WAS A LITTLE KITTY Sung by: Mrs. Bowen Stuart Recorded in Banner, AR 8/11/62 Click here to listen to the original recording White as the snow. In the barn he used to frolic, Long time ago. In the barn a little mousie Ran to and fro. And she spied the little kitty, Long time ago. Two black eyes had little kitty, Black as a crow, And she spied the little kitty, Long time ago. Four soft paws had little kitty, Paws soft as snow, And she caught the little mousie, Long time ago. Nine pearl teeth had little kitty, All in a row, And she bit the little mousie, Long time ago. When the teeth bit little mousie, Mousie cried out, "Oh," But she slipped away from kitty, Long time ago. |
