| 'Twas a good little lady fairy | A |
| Who saddled her wee white mouse | B |
| And rode away to the village | C |
| Long miles from her snug wee house | B |
| She tied her steed to a flower stalk airy | A |
| And left him there this most careless fairy | A |
| - | |
| In Fairyland no dreadful pussies | D |
| Do prowl and do growl and slay | E |
| In Fairyland the mice have honor | F |
| And draw the queen's carriage gay | E |
| And the little lady ne'er thought of danger | F |
| Because on the fence sat a green eyed stranger | F |
| - | |
| But hurried away in a twinkling | G |
| Down a dark and gloomy street | H |
| Where daily the charm of her presence | I |
| Made the children's dreams more sweet | H |
| Then Pussy Cat sprang as quick as magic | J |
| One squeal as I've heard the story tragic | J |
| - | |
| And down his throat went steed and saddle | K |
| So swiftly and O dear me | A |
| 'Stead of her gallant mouse the lady | A |
| Discovered where he should be | A |
| A monster with blood on his whiskers showing | G |
| And dreadful looks in his eyes so knowing | G |
| - | |
| Back to Fairyland she must walk then | L |
| In winter no butterfly | M |
| Is sailing that way nor a rose leaf | N |
| For fairies to travel by | M |
| She reached there at length but with feet aching | G |
| And her little heart with fear most breaking | G |
| - | |
| And the dreadful story spreading | G |
| Through Elfland circles may be | A |
| The reason why never a fairy | A |
| In these later years we see | A |
| While children in all the old old stories | D |
| Found them as plenty as morning glories | D |
