Pretty Kitty Kelly

Somewhere in Ireland, over the sea
A sweet little colleen is waiting for me
When I went away I said it won't be long
Sure all day it's me who keeps singing this song;

Pretty Kitty Kelly
She's the only girl for me
Pretty Kitty Kelly
She is all my eyes can see!
For there's not a colleen sweeter
In the land where shamrock grows
Than my pretty Kitty Kelly
She's my wild Irish rose!

I wrote a letter to Kitty, my own
And told her that I'd soon be starting for home
I know when she reads it, will sure make her smile
For faith, and I can't help but sing all the while;

Pretty Kitty Kelly
She's the only girl for me
Pretty Kitty Kelly
She is all my eyes can see!
For there's not a colleen sweeter
In the land where shamrock grows
Than my pretty Kitty Kelly
She's my wild Irish rose!

For there's not a colleen sweeter
In the land where shamrock grows
Than my pretty Kitty Kelly
She's my wild Irish rose!
