Lyrics
Katie Mae
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well you know Katie Mae is a good girl
Folks say she don't run around at night
I made a mistake and she don't run around at night
Yes, you can bet your last dollar Katie Mae will treat you right.
Well some folks say she must be a Cadillac
But I say she got to be a T-model Ford
Yes she got the shape all right, but she can't carry no heavy load.
And she walks this life
Her daddy got oil wells in his backyard
Every time she got to working that woman she never has to work too hard.
I say bye-bye poor Katie Mae
These are the last words I got to say
Cause if I don't meet you tomorrow
I'll get you early in the next day.
