    Cupid's dart did pierce my heart
    Concerning Katie Bray.
    IV
    When passing by her home my boys
    Its in there I do go
    And what is our intention
    Not one of them will know
    Our talk may be upon politics
    Or topics of the day
    And still my eyes they do delight
    On my charming Katie Bray.
    V
    And now to conclude and in those lines
    I think it is nearly time
    She pledged to me her heart and hand
    And said she would be mine
    And when we are in wedlock joined
    I hope you all will say
    I wish you luck and happiness
    With your charming Katie Bray.
