Lyrics:

Uncle Rat went out to ride
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Uncle Rat went out to ride
Kitty alone and I
Uncle Rat went out to ride
Sword and buckle by his side
To me cax ma-caree duck in a dill
Kitty alone and I

Lady Mouse, will you marry me?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Lady Mouse, will you marry me?
Kitty alone and I
Lady Mouse, will you marry me?
"Ask my Uncle Rat," says she
To me cax ma-caree duck in a dill
Kitty alone and I

Uncle Rat, will I marry Lady Mouse?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Uncle Rat, will I marry Lady Mouse?
Kitty alone and I
Uncle Rat, will I marry Lady Mouse?
Yes, kind sir, and half my house
To me cax ma-caree duck in a dill
Kitty alone and I

Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone and I
Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
"Ask my Uncle Rat," says she
To me cax ma-caree duck in a dill
Kitty alone and I

Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone and I
Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Up in the top of a holly tree
To me cax ma-caree duck in a dill
Kitty alone and I

To me cax ma-caree duck in a dill
Kitty alone and I
