Notes

Played by the Black Mountain Boys on the 6th March 1964.

The lyrics used by the Black Mountain Boys are as follows;

Now who else knows Katie Kline
She lives at the foot of the hill
In a cool shady nook, by an old babbling brook
That runs by her dear old father's mill.

So tell me that you love me Katie Kline
Tell me that your love's as true as mine
Tell me that you love your own turtle dove
Tell me that you love me Katie Kline.

Now if I was a little bird
I'd never build my nest on the ground
I'd build my nest in the high (old?) tree
Where the bad boys could never tear it down.

So tell me that you love me Katie Kline
Tell me that your love's as true as mine
Tell me that you love your own turtle dove
Tell me that you love me Katie Kline.

Now if I was a little bee
Away from the hive I would fly
I'd steal me a kiss from my true lover's lips
And back to the hive I would fly.

So tell me that you love me Katie Kline
Tell me that your love's as true as mine
Tell me that you love your own turtle dove
Tell me that you love me Katie Kline.
