It is probably from Ireland or the British Isles. I heard it one time at the White Springs festival in Florida Also, any mention or recordings, or artists who perform it will be appreciated.Music or chords? More than I can hope for.

26 Jan 04 - 05:55 PM (#1102017) Subject: RE: Lyrics to Poke the Cat From: Susanne (skw) Tom, some snatches of lyrics might come in handy! I know a song called 'Kick the Cat', which is all about the fact that when you're down or last in line 'your only consolation is to kick the cat' (last line). Does that ring a bell? |
27 Jan 04 - 11:04 PM (#1103113) Subject: RE: Lyrics to Poke the Cat From: GUEST,Tom in Apalach I think the final line is something like "that's what you get for playing poke the cat". The story line is about a clever lad teaching a naive lass how to play poke the cat. She tells the story later with a bunch of kids, which is what you get from playing poke the cat.Any ideas?
