Thread Name: Lyr Req: Kitty McGee
Subject: Lyr Add: KITTY McGEE
I believe THIS is the full lyric to Kitty McGee:

I've kissed and courted them all,
Gentle and simple, short, and medium and tall;
But kept a merry heart free,
Till it was stole unknownst by Kitty McGee.
Her smiling face, her slender waist,
Her lips would tempt a saint to taste;
Sure, it was small blame to me
To lose my heart to Kitty McGee.

'Twas down at Ballina Fair,
Colleens and boy were gaily stepping it there;
And I, the soul of the spree,
Till I set eyes on Kitty McGee.
Her smile so sweet, her step so neat,
Hide and seek, her two little feet;
Gliding just like a swan at sea
Went handsome, winsome, Kitty McGee.

And now i'm dreaming all day,
Sighing from dawn to dark and wasting away;
Like a lone bird on a tree,
Sighing the long hours through for Kitty McGee.
At dance or wake no sport I make;
Home or out no pleasure I take;
Nothing at all I hear or see
But makes me think of Kitty McGee.

Oh, how will I anyone face,
Kitty athlone, if you don't pity my case?
'Tis tired of living I'll be
If I can't win my darling Kitty McGee!
Darlin' dear, the Shrove is near,
Say the words I'm dying to hear;
Promise me mine you soon will be,
Handsome, winsome Kitty McGee!
