Pussy-cat Mew Jumped Over a Coal
Pussy-cat Mew Jumped Over a Coal
Nursery Rhyme
Pussy-cat Mew jumped over a coal,
And in her best petticoat burnt a great hole.
Poor Pussy's weeping, she'll have no more milk
Until her best petticoat's mended with silk.
Notes
Here's a slightly different version from The Little Mother Goose (1912), illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith:
Pussy Cat Mole
Pussy Cat Mole,
Jump'd over a Coal,
And in her best petticoat burnt a great hole.
Poor pussy's weeping, she'll have no more milk
Until her best petticoat's mended with silk.
Comments
This rhyme can be found in The Real Mother Goose (1916), illustrated by Blanche Fisher Wright.
Here's the version in the recording below...
Pussy-cat Mew jumped over a coal,
And in her best petticoat burnt a great hole.
Pussy-cat Mew shall have no more milk
Till she has mended her gown of silk.
