About the Song
"Fiddle-I-Fee" aka "Bought Me a Cat" is a traditional American folk children's "repeating" song. A similar song is "I Had a Rooster," page 170 in the Rise Up Singing Songbook.
Classical composer Aaron Copland did an arrangement of Fiddle-i-fee and other children's songs. The three choral arrangements of the song below utilize Copland's arrangement.
