Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Kitty (Joan Baez?????)
Subject: Lyr Add: KITTY (Joan Baez & Bill Wood)
Sorry I was away and missed the interest in Kitty. It's from an old "Folksingers Around Harvard Square" album from the late 50s. She sings this with Bill Wood, and it's beautiful. You have to hear it to believe it, maybe I can make an MP3 or sumpin'. I'll bet the spacing doesn't come out right to show the separation of the parts, so I promise in advance to make an HTML version. Here are the complete lyrics:

Kitty -- Joan Baez & Bill Wood

CHORUS
Out in the wide world, Kitty,
Out in the wide world,
Pretty Kitty.
Pretty Kitty.
Out in the wide world, Kitty,
Out in the wide world,
Far across the sea.
Far across the sea.

My Kitty sailed away from me,
To strange and distant lands,
And when I asked a good-bye kiss,
She said: "Oh, no, shake hands."

CHORUS

When Kitty left, she said she'd write.
He promised her the same,
But his address, somehow, got lost,
And she forgot his name.

CHORUS

BOTH HUM (1 STANZA)

CHORUS

Bill Joan
