Thread Name: Lyr Req: Three Blind Mice
Subject: RE: Three Blind Mice
The song is quite old, but those interpretations of it are quite modern and seem to have no foundation at all. A form of Three Blind Mice appeared in Thomas Ravenscroft's Deuteromelia of 1609, but it wasn't any longer then than it is today:

Three blinde mice
For the sake of completeness, here is the Ravenscroft text.
