Here you go, two verses included:

Jimmy was a soldier brave and bold
Katey was a maid with hair of gold.
Like an act of fate, Kate was standing at the gate
Watching all the boys on dress parade.
Jimmy with the girls was such a gawk,
Stuttered every time he tried to talk,
Still that night at eight, he was there at Katie's gate,
Stuttering to her this love sick cry.


K-K-K Katie, Beautiful Katie,
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore,
When the m-m-m-moon shines, over the cowshed,
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.


No-one ever was so nice and neat,
No-one could be just as cute and sweet,
That's what Jimmy thought when the wedding ring he bought
Now he's off to France the Foe to meet.
Jimmy thought he'd like to take chance.
See if he could make the Kaiser dance,
Stepping to a tune all about the slivery moon,
This is what they hear in far off France,


Chorus again.


I have a copy of the sheet music at home from that era. The music says on the cover that this is "The Sensation Stuttering song that the Sailors and Soldiers Sing"

The copy is also reduced in size as a "War Edition" to conserve paper.

I don't know how to send a file in Mudcat so I will send you a midi file of the melody via email.
