16 PUSSY WILLOWS 



Funny little pussy willows, 



How I wish I knew 

 If 3 T ou're really truly pussies, 



Say, why don't you mew? 



I can't find your eyes or noses, 



Do you ever purr? 

 Will you let me stroke you gently 



On your fuzzy fur? 



Downy little baby pussies, 



Tell me how you grew ; 

 Were you cold and hungry, pussies, 



When the north wind blew? 



Guess you sent away old winter, 



Pussy willows gay 

 Brought the blue birds and the sunshine; 



Did you, pussies? Say? 



Yes, I love you, pussy willows, 



Love you every one, 

 In your cunning little cradles 



Swinging in the sun.
