koty dwa lullaby

Hello!

When I was little my Mum used to sing:
Ah ah ah, koty dwa
Szare bure obedwa
Jeden poszedl na myszy
Drugi thymes2 kolyszy

Well I think that was it anyway. My Mum passed away before I had the need to sing lullabies and I have spent the last 5 years singing that to my children. My problem is that I am sure that over the years I have the tune horribly wrong. Does someone know of a link to the tune and whether the words are correct?

I'm glad I've found this place. :-)

Thank you!! I have been wondering why I couldn't find it on the internet and it was because it's kotki and not koty. I sing it so differently you wouldn't believe. Shows what about 30 years of not hearing a tune does for the memory. Also my Mum wasn't the best singer in the first place God rest her soul and I'm not either. Thanks again Zajec.
