Sweet Kitty Kelly
of old Londonderry
was courting Michael Shay,
he was so jealous
of all the young fellows
that came sweet Kitty's way,
She was so fickle,
that's why
most ev'ry night he would cry:

Pretty Kitty Kelly
my heart's beating for you
if you dare make a fool of me
you'll break my heart in two;
it is my ambition
to raise a family
so Pretty Kitty Kelly,
I insist you marry me.

Pretty Kitty Kelly
my heart's beating for you
if you dare make a fool of me
you'll break my heart in two;
it is my ambition
to raise a family
so Pretty Kitty Kelly,
I insist you marry me.

Her smile beguiling
her eyes always smiling
just stole his heart away,
it was amusing
when she kept refusing
to name the happy day.
He kept on pleading
and then
he started singing again:

Pretty Kitty Kelly
my heart's beating for you
if you dare make a fool of me
you'll break my heart in two;
it is my ambition
to raise a family
so Pretty Kitty Kelly,
I insist you marry me.

Pretty Kitty Kelly
my heart's beating for you
if you dare make a fool of me
you'll break my heart in two;
it is my ambition
to raise a family
so Pretty Kitty Kelly,
I insist you marry me.
