O Katy O'Neil, how can I can conceal
The way the way that I feel in my heart?
The waters that flow and the breezes that blow
All bid me to go where thou art.
Sure I always ponder as lonely I wander
How my heart grows fonder apart.
O Katy O'Neil, how can I conceal
The way that I feel in my heart?
I feel a sweet pain again and again.
Say not 'tis in vain that I pray.
The time will soon be when you will agree
Forever with me love to stay. Chorus
Far over the sea be waiting for me,
And soon shall I come there to you.
So Katy don't marry but stay there and tarry
Until time shall carry me through. Chorus
