Kitty Gray 1910

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 Sep 2004

I have come back from the city,
Kitty Gray,
It seems good to breathe the clover in the air;
Yes, the city girls are pretty,
Kitty Gray,
with their silk and satin gowns
and golden hair.
Ev'ry time I saw one pass with eyes of blue,
underneath the great white lights
I'll think of you;
and I'd see you sitting on a load of hay
then I'd kiss your picture, dearie,
and I'd say:

I don't want a silk and satin lady fair,
with golden hair and a baby stare,
I don't want a girl with jewels rich and rare
and eyes of blue, my Kitty,
I just want a girlie in a gingham gown
with eyes of brown,
in my old home town;
someone just to love me in the good old way
I want you Kitty Gray.

I don't want a silk and satin lady fair,
with golden hair and a baby stare,
I don't want a girl with jewels rich and rare
and eyes of blue, my Kitty,
I just want a girlie in a gingham gown
with eyes of brown,
in my old home town;
someone just to love me in the good old way
I want you Kitty Gray.

Must I go back to the city,
Kitty Gray,
won't you let me
put my arms around you, dear?
For you look so fresh and pretty,
Kitty Gray,
and I just want you to tell me to stay here.
Take my hand and let us wander once again,
where no city lights are shining
down the lane.
Where I carved your name sweetheart,
upon a tree,
Kitty Gray, you are the only girl for me.

I don't want a silk and satin lady fair,
with golden hair and a baby stare,
I don't want a girl with jewels rich and rare
and eyes of blue, my Kitty,
I just want a girlie in a gingham gown
with eyes of brown,
in my old home town;
someone just to love me in the good old way
I want you Kitty Gray.

I don't want a silk and satin lady fair,
with golden hair and a baby stare,
I don't want a girl with jewels rich and rare
and eyes of blue, my Kitty,
I just want a girlie in a gingham gown
with eyes of brown,
in my old home town;
someone just to love me in the good old way
I want you Kitty Gray.
