KATIE O'BRIEN. Copyright, 1891, by Willis Woodward & Co. Words and Music by Joe Hart. 
From sweet County Galway, I met in the hallway A lovely colleen kissing Darby O'Rourke; Said I to Dan Dacey, I'll win the fair daisy As sure as my name is Cornelius McGuirke; So I put on a coat that was worn by St. Patrick, And a bat that my brother sent over to me; I borrowed O'Callahan's pipes and I started; And under the window I sang merrily: 
Chorus. Katie O'Brien, Katie O'Brien, I love you dearly, fondly and true, yes I do. Katie O'Brien, sighing and crying For a heart that beats for you, for you, only you. 
I sang for an hour to this sweet Irish flower, The rain and the hail and the snow it did fall; I then began sneezing, the bag-pipes were freezing; I don't know that she ever heard them at all. With her form on the curtain I stood there a-flirting, And hoped that she'd open the window to see Who was there serenading; to my knees I was wading In mud, but I still sang my sweet love ditty.-Chorus.
