CHARMING KATE.
Copyright, 1889, by F. Harding.
Words and Music by Jos. J. Sullivan.
I'm in love with a pretty girl and her name is Kate,
She has promised to be mine to-night at half past eight;
She's lovely, she's charming, but she always looks so neat,
I'm in love with this turtle dove, for to me she is so sweet.
Chorus.
Oh, my charming Kate, will you be my mate? do before it is too late.
If not I'll go away and some future day you'll be sorry, charming Kate;
Oh, my charming Kate, will you be my mate? do before it is too late.
If not I'll go away and some future day you'll be sorry, charming Kate.
When I'm a married man happy I will be.
With a babe named little Kate, a dancing on my knee;
I'll never think of sorrow, I'll be happy all my life.
Pleasant hours I'll pass away with my charming little wife.-Chorus.
