DING, DONG, BELL / PUSSY'S IN THE WELL, by                     Poet's Biography
Last Line: But killed the mice in his father's barn!
Subject(s): Cats


Ding, dong, bell,
Pussy's in the well!
Who put her in?
Little Tommy Green.
Who pulled her out?
Big Johnny Stout.

What a naughty boy was that,
To drown poor pussy-cat,
Who never did him any harm,
But killed the mice in his father's barn!

Hark! hark! the dogs do bark,
The beggars are coming to town;
Some in rags and some in tags,
And some in silken gowns.*

Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown,
And some gave them a good horse-whip,
And sent them out of the town
