K-K-K-Katy

When I was little my mom used to sing the song "K-K-K-Katy" to me.  It's a sweet song, sung by a stammering solider saying goodbye to his love called Kate.  It was composed in 1918 during World War I and was regarded as somewhat of a going away song.




Not very many people know of the song today.  When ever I think of it it makes me smile, remembering my mom singing me a special song with my name in it as she tucked me into bed at night.

K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;
When the m-m-m-moon shines,
Over the c-c-c-cowshed,
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
