GUEST,Giles Earle Lyr Req: Kitty I Am in Love with You (from Moeran) (25) RE: Lyr Req: Kitty I Am in Love with You 03 Jan 07


Jack Moeran's arrangement (for voice and piano) is published by Thames; he collected the song in County Kerry, I think in the 1940s. As far as I recall them, the lyrics are as below: the refrain being sung at the beginning, as well as after each verse.


Kitty I am in love with you
Kitty I am asthore
Kitty I am in love with you
Whether you like it or no

I was on top of Mount Brandon
And she in the valley below
I took off my shoes and my stockings
To follow my Kitty-i-o

I have a leg for a stocking
And I have a foot for a shoe
I have a kiss for the ladies
And maybe some other thing too

I have a pan and a keeler
And a churn as white as the snow
Kitty my dear will you marry me
Love with your dove will you go? *


* - I suspect this was a mistake, and usually sing the last line as "Love will you, dove will you go?"
