It starts out: Never more upon the mat he will play with pussycat Never more between his teeth he'll pinch her tail Never more he'll rub her nose up against the red-hot stove For our Little Tommy's gone and kicked the pail I remember the tune, but only bits & pieces of the lyrics. Dan anyone help me? |

Death of Willie (Bob Dyer, Australia) Text as recorded by Bob Dyer, 1939; with one verse from the repertoire of George Maynard, Sussex. It seems to have had a variety of titles. The Roud Folk Song Index (where it is number 1411) lists a song from Gene Autry's repertoire, My Cross Eyed Gal, under the same heading. |
