Meet Me, Darling Kate, By The Cottage Gate - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
MEET ME, DARLING KATE, BY THE COTTAGE GATE. 
What a pleasure the Spring-time brings, When I listen to the birds so sweetly singing. How it fills my heart with joy To hear the merry voices ringing; I go rambling down the shady lane, My tale of love to relate, To the darling one I love, Down by that cottage gate. 
Chords. Meet me darling Kate, By the cottage gate, Listen now, to what I say is true: At the hour of eight, Do not let me wait, For I love none else but you. 
When the evening shades are falling fast, I wandered down the dear old shady lane. To our familiar seat, To renew our tales of love again; When the moon it gently mounts the sky, Then we know it's growing late, Then I'll bid my love good-bye, Down by that cottage gate.-Chorus.
