No One But You (In My Heart)

Pussy cat, pussy cat
Pussy cat, pussy cat
Well, I was born
In a little old house
In a town called Barrel Bay
I was eight years old
When I fell in love and
And it seems like yesterday
Down the old mill road
In a pretty house lived
Some folks not far from me
And they had a child
Only one year old
And a lovely babe to see
[CHORUS]
They called her Pussy Cat
Puss, Puss, Pussy Cat
For her hair was soft and fine
Pussycat, Puss, Puss, Pussy Cat
For her two big eyes would shine
She had a smile so sweet
And a great deal more than that
And she'd coo and purr
When I smiled at her with
A milky skin like silky fur
My Puss, Puss, Puss, Puss
Pussy Cat
Well, the years went by
And I grew quite tall
For I shot up like a vine
And I used to watch old Pussy Cat
Till she reached the age of nine
Then I said goodbye
For I left one year,
For a town in Iowa
And I didn't see anyone I knew
'Til I came back one fine day
[Repeat CHORUS]
Well, there she stood
Like a pretty rose and
My goodness, how she'd grown
But the sparkling eyes
And the turned-up nose
Looked the same though
Years had flown
Then I knew at once
She belonged to me
And I knew she felt the same
So our lives were joined
And our first new-born
Was a girl who bore her name
[Repeat CHORUS]
My Puss, Puss, Puss, Puss
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
