COME BACK KATY
© Jed Marum, 2005

Come back Katy, Kevin Benjamin and Brady
And the boys from Alabama
Know you're looking for a Mister
Better run and tell your sister
But don't you tell your Mama

You know they look so fine
When they're marchin's in a line
And they dance even finer
Then the boys of Carolina
Come back Katy get your best dress on
The 'bama boys in town

Come back Katy, Kevin Benjamin and Brady
Setting out on my veranda
Play the Shamrock and the Thistle
And the y play on the whistle
To the fiddle and the banjer

Gonna make some noise
With the Alabama boys
Gonna dance 'til the morrow
Like we never had a sorrow
Come back Katy get your best dress on
The 'bama boys in town

Come back Katy, Kevin Benjamin and Brady
And the Alabama Wild Geese
They were born in Connemara
But they're leavin' town
And they're gonna fight the Yankees
Gonna dance and sing
Make the whole town ring
Make a racket and a rattle
'fore we send 'em off to battle

Come back Katy get your best dress on
The 'bama boys in town
