- I got this song in a book at home.
The name of this song is Kitty from Kincor.
As beautiful Kitty one morning was tripping with a pitcher of milk from the fair of Kincor, When she met me she stumbled, the pitcher it tumbled and all the sweet butter-milk water'd the plain. Oh what shall I do now? 'Twas looking at you, Sure, such a pitcher I'll ne'er meet again, 'Twas the pride of my dairy, Oh! Barney McCleary, you're sent as a plague to the girls of Kincor. I sat down beside her, And gently did chide her, that such a misfortune should give her such pain. A kiss then I gave her and before I did leave her, she vowed for such pleasure she'd break it again.
