The Cat That Kittled In Jamie's Wig

I have recently seen these lines in a collection of Perthshire Ballads, Rhymes and Fragments:

Anti-Jacobite Fragments

The cat has kittled in Charlie's wig,
The cat has kittled in Charlie's wig,
There's ane o' them living, and twa o' them dead,
The cat has kittled in Charlie's wig.
