Kitty McGee

I've kissed and courted them all

Gentle and simple

Short and medium and tall

But kept a merry heart free

Till it was stole unknownst by Kitty Magee

Her smiling face her slender waist

Her lips would tempt a saint to taste

Sure it was small blame to me

To lose my heart to Kitty Magee

Twas down at Ballina Fair

Colleens and boys were gaily stepping it there

And I the soul of the spree

When I set eyes on Kitty Magee

Her smile so sweet

Her step so neat

Hide and seek her two little feet

Gliding just like a swan at sea

Went handsome winsome Kitty Magee

And now I'm dreaming all day

Sighing from dark to dawn and wasting away

Like a lone bird on a tree

Sighing the long hours through for Kitty Magee

Darling dear

The shrove is near

Say the words I'm dying to hear

Promise me mine you soon will be

Handsome winsome Kitty Magee
