about

A very , very old song about courting, don’t ask us for the deep sense of
every line! Followed by a version of the Yellow Wattle.

lyrics

Uncle Rat went out to ride
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Uncle Rat went out to ride,
Kitty alone and I.
Uncle Rat went out to ride
Sword and buckle by his side,
Ma cax macari duck and a dil,
Kitty alone and I.

Lady Mouse, will marry me?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone,
Lady Mouse, will marry me?
Kitty alone and I.
Lady Mouse, will marry me?
Ask my Uncle Rat, says she,
Ma cax macari duck and a dil.
Kitty alone and I

Uncle Rat, will I marry Lady Mouse?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone,
Uncle Rat, will I marry Lady Mouse?
Kitty alone and I.
Uncle Rat, will I marry Lady Mouse?
Yes, kind sir, and half my house
Ma cax macari duck and a dil,
Kitty alone and I.

Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone,
Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone and I.
Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Ask my Uncle Rat, says she
Ma cax macari duck and a dil,
Kitty alone and I.

Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone,
Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone and I.
Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Up at the top of a holly tree
Ma cax macari duck and a dil,
Kitty alone and I.
