    Of you, lovely Katie Bray.

    When ever I do go that road,
    It is in there I do go,
    And what is my intention,
    Not one of them will know,
    Our talks may be on politics,
    Or the trophy of the day,
    Still my eyes,they do light on
    You charming Katie Bray

    So now my boys, I'll end those lines,
    I think it's nearly time,
    She has promised me her heart and hand,
    And says she will be mine.
    And when we are in wedlock joined,
    I hope you all will say,
    I wish you joy and happiness,
    With your charming Katie Bray.
