White Kitty

Cat. #0860 (MFH #719) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on August 27, 1969

VERSE 1
Once't there was a little kitty, white as snow
In th barn he used to ramble a long time ago
In th barn a little mousy he ran to an' fro
For he spied that little kitty along time ago

VERSE 2
Four soft paws, that little kitty, paws soft as snow
An' they caught that little mousy, a long time ago
Nine, fer a piece, that little kitty, all in a row
An' bit that little mousy, a long time ago

VERSE 3
When th teeth bit little mousy, mousy cried, Oh
But she slipped away from kitty, a long time ago
