1. Well, I was born in a little old house

D

in a town called Barrel Bay,

I was eight years old, when I fell in love,

D7 G

and it seems like yesterday.

Down the old mill road in a pretty house

G7 C

lived some folks not far from me,

D

and they had a child, only one year old,

D7 G - - - - - - - - - -

and a lovely babe to see. They called her …

C F

Pussy Cat, Puss, Puss, Pussy Cat, for her hair was soft and fine,

G G7 C

Pussycat, Puss, Puss, Pussy Cat, for her two big eyes would shine.

C C7 F

She had a smile so sweet, and a great deal more than that,

C G C F

and she'd coo and purr, when I smiled at her

C G C G

with a milky skin like silky fur,

G G7 C

my Puss, Puss, Puss, Puss, Pussy Cat.

2. Now, years went by and I grew quite tall, for I shot up like a vine,

D7 G

and I used to watch old Pussy Cat, till she reached the age of nine.

G7 C

Then I said goodbye, for I left one morn for a town in Ioway,

D D7 G

and I didn't see anyone I knew, ‘til I came back one fine day.

They called her ….

3. Well, there she was like a pretty rose,

D

and, my goodness, how she'd grown,

but the sparkling eyes and the turned-up nose

D7 G

looked the same, though years had flown.

Then I knew at once, she belonged to me,

G7 C

and I knew she felt the same,

D

so our lives were joined and our first new-born

D7 G - - - - - - - - - -

was a girl who bore her name. They called her ….

(G) - - - - (G7) - - - - C - - - -

+ CHORUS + Puss, Puss, Puss, Puss, Pussy Cat !
