Saw a crow a-flying low, kitty alone, kitty alone;
Saw a crow a-flying low, kitty alone, a-lye;
Saw a crow a-flying low and a cat a-spining tow,

Kitty alone, a-lye; Rock-uma-rye-ree.
In came a little bat, kitty alone, kitty alone;
In came a little bat, kitty alone, a-lye;

In came a little bat with some butter and some fat.
Kitty alone, a-lye; Rock-uma-rye-ree.
Next came in was a honeybee, kitty alone, kitty alone;

Next came in was a honeybee, kitty alone, a-lye;
Next came in was a honeybee with a fiddle across his knee,
Kitty alone, a-lye; Rock-uma-rye-ree.

Next came in was little Pete, kitty alone, kitty alone;
Next came in was little Pete, Kitty alone, a-lye;
Next came in was little Pete fixing around to go to sleep,

Kitty alone, a-lye; Rock-uma-rye-ree.
Bee-o, bye-o, kitty alone, kitty alone;
Bee-o, bye-o, baby-o, kitty alone, a-lye;

Bee-o, bye-o, baby-o, bye-o, bee-o, baby-o,
Kitty alone, a-lye; Rock-uma-rye-ree.
