Lyrics Pretty Kitty Kelly - Charles Harrison

Somewhere in Ireland, far over the sea
A sweet little colleen is waiting for me
When I went away, I said, "It won't be long"
Sure all day it's me who keeps singing this song

Pretty Kitty Kelly, she's the only girl for me
Pretty Kitty Kelly, she is all my eyes can see
For there's not a colleen sweeter in the land where shamrock grows
And my pretty Kitty Kelly, she's my wild Irish rose

I wrote a letter to Kitty, my own
And told her that I should be starting for home
I know when she reads it, 'twill sure make her smile
Oh, faith, and I can't help but sing all the while

Pretty Kitty Kelly, she's the only girl for me
Pretty Kitty Kelly, she is all my eyes can see
For there's not a colleen sweeter in the land where shamrock grows
And my pretty Kitty Kelly, she's my wild Irish rose
