My love she wears a pinafore
And a handsome charming dress.
She grieves me with her winning smile
And many a fond caress.
When first I saw her in Grogan Mass
I nearly swooned away,
My heart was taken captive
By you, lovely Katie Bray. 2
For loves she has plenty,
And of a high degree,
But O my boys what will I do
If she is not true to me.
Still I'll keep my courage up,
And not one word will say,
I'll wait the time , for she will be mine,
My charming Katie Bray. 3
She lives quite close to Errill town,
Which easily can be seen.
She wheels her needle with dainty hands,
And works a sewing machine.
My love she is a Venus,
I hear the people say,
the Cupid darts do pierce my heart(continues on next page)
