- When I was young and fond of fun
Like many a roaming lad
It was my delight by day and night
To court a comely lass.
With her I would walk and with her I would talk
As thousands did before
But it was little I knew, she would prove untrue
Young Kitty from Baltimore.Young Kitty was tall and slender
And as gentle as a dove
Ten times a day he would come and say
With her he was in love.
When he would say this
They would have a kiss
And he would love her more and more
But alas! the day I am far away
From you, Kitty from Baltimore.It was her father Frank that I might thank
For living in this sad state
Because I was poor he could not endure
To marry his daughter, Kate(continues on next page)
