- My love she wears a pinafore
And a handsome charming dress
She grieves me with her bewitching smile
And many's the fond caress.
When first I saw her at Grogan Mass
I nearly swooned away
My heart was taken captive
By my charming Katie Bray.

Which easily can be seen
She wheels a needle with a dainty hand
And turns a sewing machine
My love she is a Venus
So I did hear the people say
Cupid's dart did pierce my heart
Concerning Katie Bray

her cheeks are like the roses
Her jet black locks and her pertly frame
Her pearly teeth disclose
My love she is a Venus
So I hear people say.(continues on next page)- Collector
