K- K- K- KATY – 1917
JIMMY WAS A SOLDIER BRAVE AND BOLD.
KATY WAS A MAID WITH HAIR OF GOLD.
LIKE AN ACT OF FATE,
KATE WAS STANDING AT THE GATE
WATCHING THE BOYS WHILE ON PARADE.
KATE SMILED WITH A TWINKLING EYE,
JIM SAID, “M-M-M-MEET YA BY AND BY.”
THAT NIGHT AT EIGHT,
JIM WAS AT THE GARDEN GATE,
STUTTERING THIS SONG TO K-K-K-KATE.
K- K- K- KATY, BEAUTIFUL KATY
YOU’RE THE ONLY G- G- G- GIRL
THAT I ADORE.
WHEN THE M- M- M- MOON SHINES
OVER THE C- C- C- COWSHED
I’LL BE WAITING FOR YOU
AT THE K- K- K- KITCHEN DOOR.
