marc gunn - kitty martin lyrics

Loading...

there were three cat brothers in merry scotland;
in merry scotland there were three
and they did cast lots which of them should go, should go, should go
and turn mouser all on the salt sea

the lot it fell first upon kitty martin
the fiercest of all of the three
that he should turn mouser all on the salt sea, salt sea, salt sea
to maintain a fine vessel rat+free

he had not been sailing but a long winter’s night
and part of a short winter’s day
before he espied a large fat grey rat, fat grey rat, fat grey rat
come creeping down at him straight way

“meow! meow!” cried kitty martin;
“what makes you slink so nigh?”
“i’m a poor rodent bound for that sack of grain, sack of grain, sack of grain
will you please for to let me pass by?”

“meow! meow!” cried kitty martin;
“that thing it never could be!
for i am turned mouser all on the salt sea, salt sea, salt sea
to maintain a fine vessel rat+free

“come, lower your pink tail and write up your will
and bring yourself over to me;
for i will chase you and your cousins all, cousins all, cousins all
your dead bodies i’ll eat with my tea.”
“oh no! i won’t lower my slender pink tail
nor bring myself over to thee!
and you shan’t take from me my dear rodent life, rodent life, rodent life
nor force me to jump in the sea.”

with tooth, claw, and squealing, hard at it they went
for fully two hours or three
till kitty martin gave to him the death bite, the death bite, the death bite
and straight down the gullet went he

bad news, bad news to rat cousins came;
bad news to rats soon came ’round
“there’s been a poor rodent and he’s passed away
passed away, passed away!
and now the cat runs us aground.”
