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
