A Cat Came Fiddling Out of a Barn
The Nursery Rhymes of England. James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps. 1886.
A cat came fiddling out of a barn,
With a pair of bag-pipes under her arm;
She could sing nothing but fiddle cum fee,
The mouse has married the humble-bee;
Pipe, cat, — dance, mouse,
We'll have a wedding at our good house.
The Little Mother Goose. Jessie Willcox Smith. 1912.
A cat came fiddling out of a barn.
With a pair of bag-pipes under her arm:
She could sing nothing but fiddle cum fee,
The mouse has married the bumble-bee;
Pipe, cat—dance, mouse,
We'll have a wedding at our good house.

With a pair of bagpipes under her arm;

The mouse has married the humble bee."
