| My eyes are brimming o'er with tears
My heart is full of woe; An old time friend went up the flume A day or two ago. Kate Bender was this maiden's name, You've heard it o'er and o'er; The hand of death has laid her low A dozen times before. I know I should not weep and wail Nor shed the briny tear, For Katy will come back to earth And die again next year. |
