KITTY McGEE
Song and chorus by Henry Tucker
The Music can be obtained at the popular Music-Store of Frederick Blume, 1125 Broadway, New-York.

1. Oh, fare you well, darling; I leave you tomorrow.
I'm going to take sail for the land of the free.
Our parting is sad but, dear, dry up your sorrow.
Oh, why do you grieve me thus, Kitty McGee?
Do you think I'll forget? That I'll ere prove unfaithful?
Oh, no, darling, I'll only love you the more.
I'll write to you weekly; I'll send you my picture,
And I'll pray for my Kitty, the one I adore.

CHORUS: Oh, Kitty McGee, with my whole heart I love you.
For you I am going across the dark sea.
I'll work for you, pray for you, bless you forever,
And lovingly pray for you, bless you forever,*
And lovingly wait for my Kitty McGee, oh, Kitty McGee.

2. I'll work with a will and I'll save all my money.
I'll not touch a drop of old poteen or beer.
I'll go to church Sunday and go to work Monday,
And send you the money to bring you on there.
I'll buy me a hut and I'll buy all that's in it,
And when you are ready to sail o'er the sea,
Just write me a letter and say that you're coming,
And I'll wait for my darling, my Kitty McGee.
