Curly Locks


Version 1

Curly Locks, Curly Locks,
Will you be mine?
You shall not wash dishes,
Nor feed the swine;

But sit on a cushion
And sew a fine seam,
And feast upon strawberries,
Sugar, and cream.

(Mother Goose Club Version)

Version 2

Curly locks, Curly Locks,
Wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash dishes,
Nor yet feed the swine;
But sit on a cushion
And sew a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries,
Sugar and cream.

Version 3

Pussy cat, pussy cat,
Wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash dishes,
Nor yet feed the swine;
But sit on a cushion
And sew a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries,
Sugar and cream.
