The Kittie West

The Kittie West

All aboard the Kittie West!
All dressed up in your Sunday best
See the sights, get away
Along the Mohawk River for the day
There's a band playing Dixie on the deck
While the captain smokes a cigarette
Come one, come all
We'll be back by nightfall
So climb aboard the Kittie West

In 1882
She made her maiden voyage one afternoon
I was there, and have been since
I'm on that steamboat every chance I get
I break my hands building trains for a wage
Trying to get my money saved
So come weekends I'm traveling
To places I haven't been
Aboard the Kittie West

SOLO

If you haven't seen me around
It's because there's someone I've found
Her name is Martha Mae
I met her in Rexford one day
We married the following June
Under a golden summer moon
We danced till dawn
As the band played on
Aboard the Kittie West
The Kittie West
