Thread Name: Lyr Req: Kitty I Am in Love with You (from Moeran)
Subject: Lyr Add: KITTY (from Shegui)
It may perhaps be related to that, though distantly. A band called Shegui recorded the song that I think is meant, 20 or more years ago, as Kitty. I have an old tape of it, but unfortunately no proper details.

Kitty I am in love with you,
Kitty I am, a stor;
Kitty I am in love with you,
Whether you like it or no.

And me on the top of Mount Brandon
And she in the valley below;
I'd take off my shoes and my stockings
To follow sweet Kitty I O.

Kitty I am in love with you...

And 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 things too.

Kitty I am in love with you...

And I have a pan on the keel*, love,
And I have a tongue white as snow;
Kitty my love, will you go with me
Love, with your love will you go.

Kitty I am in love with you,
Kitty I am, a stor;
Kitty I am in love with you,
Whether you like it or no.

And me on the top of Mount Brandon
And she in the valley below;
I'd take off my shoes and my stockings
To follow sweet Kitty I O.


Shegui, In the Wind (Highway Records SHP 105, 1982.

I am not sure about "pan on the keel", and I don't know where they got the song.
