THE DEAREST GIRL TO ME. Copyright, 1897, by S. H. Brown. Words by Chas. H. McIntosh and James Convery. Music by The Gallery God 
My sweetheart bears the name of Kate, she's the sweetest girl I know, And when I call to see her, why I always tell her so; Her hair is dark and curly, with blue eyes bright and clear; With teeth so white and pearly, to me she's ever dear. 
Chorus. Katie, my darling, some day will be mine; I've roam'd the world all over, no sweeter girl I and; Some day we'll marry, how happy we will be; For she is the dearest, the dearest girl to me. 
Just two short years have passed and gone since our courtship has began, The wedding day has now been set, for I've won her heart and hand; The neighbors are invited, and a big time there will be When I place the ring upon the hand of the dearest girl to me. 
Chorus. Katie, my darling, some day will be mine; I've roamed the world all over, no sweeter girl I and; Some day we'll marry, how happy we will be; For she is the dearest, the dearest girl to me.
