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
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
Now, 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
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, there she was 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
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
Puss, Puss, Puss, Puss
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
