Subject: Looking for lyrics to OLD pssywillw song From: GUEST,Andrea Date: 20 Mar 02 - 01:09 PM Hi, I am looking for the lyrics to an old children's song my grandpa sang about pssywillow. The last website I posted on, looking for this song, wouldn't let me type the word properly because it thought I was being vulgar! Anyway, if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it! I can remember some of the words: "Pssy in a willow tree, pink-skinned little pssies wee." "I never see you clean your fur, Hear you (?) or hear you purr." "Never see you hunting rats, Surely, you are fairy cats." Thanks, Andrea

Subject: RE: Looking for lyrics to OLD pssywillw song From: Nathan in Texas Date: 20 Mar 02 - 10:08 PM I learned one in elementary school: each line is one note higher on the scale., then the "Meows" walk back down the scale. I know a little pussy, Her coat is silver gray. She lives down in the meadow Not very far away [or was it, "She'll never run away"?] Although she is a pussy She'll never be a cat For she's a pussywillow Now, what do you think of that? Meow, meow,meow, meow, meow, meow, meow" SCAT! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: old song about pussywillow From: GUEST Date: 20 Jul 12 - 06:01 PM pussies on a willow tree...fuzzy pink skinned pussies we. Dressed in coats of silver grey..to whom do you belong I pray? Never see you wash your fur....never do I hear you purr...never hear a faint meow...from a twig or from a bow. Never see you chasing rats...surely you must be fairy cats! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: old song about pussywillow From: GUEST Date: 24 Oct 22 - 07:50 AM In 1986 I sung this song twice as a child, once at school in Edinburgh. We had 2 music taechers at the time and this song I and all of my other friends at school knew it two. In 1989 I went to a junior choir and with our teacher Ann. I found out today that the tune is from Spain, but does anyone know who wrote the English words? Thanks, from Joe |
Subject: Lyr Add: "I KNOW A LITTLE PUSSY..." From: Jim Dixon Date: 15 Nov 22 - 10:16 AM Found in an article, “Suggestions for Nature Study,” by Elizabeth Downhour, in The Educator-Journal, Vol. 18, No. 8 (Indianapolis: Educator-Journal Co., April 1918), page 429: Here is a little poem that every child should know. It has been set to music. Try to get it and sing it with the children: I know a little Pussy, Her coat is silver gray; She lives out in the meadow; She never runs away. She always was a Pussy— She never was a cat. Her name is Pussy Willow, Now what do you think of that? |
Subject: Lyr Add: "I HAD A LITTLE PUSSY..." From: Jim Dixon Date: 15 Nov 22 - 11:14 AM From Kindergarten Review, Vol. 14, No. 7 (Springfield, Mass.: Milton Bradley Co., March 1904), page 435: CATKIN. By a Child Seven or Eight Years Old. I had a little pussy, And her coat was silvery gray; She lives in a great wide meadow, And she never runs away. She always was a pussy. She never came a cat. Because—she’s a pussy willow! Now what do you think of that! |
