Miss Kathleen McGee came from the town of Tralee

And she was one of a kind

She was very pretty and she also was witty

And she drove all the boys out of their mind

She could sing and dance and melt hearts with a glance

She could raise the low pressure of blood

She was light on her feet when she walked on the street

Boys would gladly lay down their jackets in mud

It was no big news that she didn’t drink booze

She could have all the free soda she wanted

I asked her to dance with thoughts of romance

We only had only one now I’m haunted

Next day on my mare I was on the way to Kenmare

And I stopped into her mother and dad

I said I have plenty of land and I want your daughter’s hand

I play music and sing both popular and trad

He was balling his fist he said does she know you exist

That sure took me down a big peg

I didn’t want to get excited I felt like I’d been indicted

And I certainly did not want to beg

He said she had suitors in person and on computers

That was the end of my presentation

He didn’t say yes so I would have to guess

He didn’t care so I rode away in frustration
