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

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! |

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 |

From: Jim Dixon 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? |

From: Jim Dixon 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! |
