Re-upload from our debut full-length album, "It's Not the Coat Makes the Gentleman" (2007).

lyrics

After business you will find me, every night as sure as fate,
At the corner of the street here, waiting for my bonnie Kate;
Her papa has quite forbidden young men to the house to go,
In consequence of which I whistle, just to let my true love know
I am waiting here to greet
Blue-eyed Kate with kisses sweet
Every night at the end of the street
I whistle and wait for Katie
You may think it awkward standing in a busy street like this,
But I’m sure you would not mind it could you meet so sweet a Miss;
Of course I wait till all is silent, see there’s no one passing by,
Before I venture on the whistle, known alone to Kate and I
I am waiting here to greet
Blue-eyed Kate with kisses sweet
Every night at the end of the street
I whistle and wait for Katie
