Story behind the song
This cat song is based on the Scottish folk song and bothy ballad "Bardyards of Delgaty". The Bothy ballads combined fantasy with the everyday life the plowmen. This song combines a wee bit o'fantasy with my first pet cat, Jasper, who has the most-beautiful green eyes. Look for it on my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD.
Lyrics
As I went down to the feline market, Feline market to adopt a kitty, I fell in love with a sweet grey tabby With the greenest eyes you've ever seen. [ch] Jasper tabby, kitty cat-y Jasper tabby cat kitty Jasper Kitty tabby cat-y The greenest eyes you've ever seen. He meowed to me that he was lonely. Tired of roaming streets you see. He purrs while I massage his neck And cradle him like a baby. Before I wake up every morning, He'd wake up and walk on me, Bite my hair and chat real loudly Didn't he know I was trying to sleep? He won't drink water from his cat bowl Waits till the fawcett is turned on When I don't follow his instructions He nips my ankles and meows this song. Now he's hissing at my new kitties Growling loudly, green eyes glaring Hell hath no furry like Jasper Kitty With the greenest eyes you've ever seen.
