Subject: RE: lyric I had a cat and the cat pleased me From: BobL Date: 10 Feb 21 - 03:31 AM American and British versions of the same song, perhaps. "I bought me a cat" - in Copland's 1950 Old American Songs "I went to market" - Roud 544, recorded by the Watersons. Haven't found either version in DT. |

Subject: RE: lyric I had a cat and the cat pleased me From: Nigel Parsons Date: 10 Feb 21 - 06:10 AM If you learnt it at school I would suggest "Time & Tune" (Summer 71 or Summer 79). If one of these matches your time in school and no-one has posted the lyrics quite as you remember, respond here with the date you need and I'll dig the booklet out and transcribe direct. Cheers Nigel |
