The little grey cat was walking prettily, When she found her little son stretched (dead),And twas only a year since she found her family Cast out and drowned in a trench. Thelittle white cat, white, white, The little white cat, Breeds oat, The little white cat. snowywhite, That was drowned in the trench. 2. The little mother stood upright When she foundher little son dead; She brought him in and made a bed for him, And then began to lamenthim. 3. Andrew, the blind, had some of her family, And they came together to lamenthim. I am sure if Barry hears it, He will regret the death of Breeds cat. 4. He broke no chest,nor lock of the neighbours, Nor did he destroy the cows butter. And you never heard suchdiscourse, As the mice had in telling of it 5. His eye was grey, his walk was pretty, His stepwas light and active: And Pd far rather be going into the clay, Than that the province ofMunster should hear of it. 6. The little white cat had a hump on his back As big as a three-pint jug. Wasnt he a fine show for the gentry to see, Poll, Breeds pretty little cat?7. Walters Martin will put a wooden coffin on him, And its he that is well able. And were itnot for the time at which he died We should have every cause for lamenting.I took this song down from Miss Annie Hession (now Mrs. Keane), whoheard it in SpiddaL It was taught to the school children there by Mr. ThomasColman, N.T., now Inspector of schools. He tells rue he heard some of theold people in the neighbourhood singing it. It was first printed in SlsmTAtl eithpr, p. 55.1- -.- 5uAt ne mo Opoibe in mo tAp.
