The Cat Killed the Mourning Dove

The cat killed the mourning dove
The cat killed the mourning dove
The cat killed the mourning dove
and ate it with her kittens
and ate it with her kittens

Nothing but feathers here and there
once was a winged bird with a pair
Now its gone and disappeared
into the cats tummy, oh dear

Oh dear Oh dear  Oh Oh dear
the cat killed the mourning dove
the cat killed the mourning dove
the cat killed the mourning dove
and ate it with her kittens
and ate it with her kittens

The other doves are now afraid
to scared to land since cats foray
They fly around in tree tops stay
mourning the one the cat slayed

The cat killed the mourning dove
The cat killed the mourning dove
The cat killed the mourning dove
and ate it with her kittens
and ate it with her kittens


                                          Meeeeeowl!
