Subject: RE: Origins:Mouse on the Barroom Floor/Intoxicated Rat
I learned this song in the 1950's at 4-H camp in Ohio. Oh the liquor was spilled on the bar room floor and the bar was closed for the night, when a little gray mouse from a hole in the wall came out in the pale moonlight. He lapped up the the liquor on the bar room floor and on his haunches he sat, and all night long you could hear him roar, bring on the old tom cat.
