[Lyric] Katie My Love (Original Broadway Cast of "Grind")

[DOYLE]
Katie, my love
Timmy, my lad
Lu, tara lee, a-lay
I know I promised y' I'd be dead
But somethin' or other'll rear its head
And stand there in my way
Lu, tara lee, a-lay

Katie, my pet
Timmy, my boy
Lu, tara lee, a-lo
I'm caught again, bein' still alive
A downright embarrasin' state
When I've done everything I know
Lu, tara lee, a-lo

It's cold where I sleep
It's poison I drink
How can it take so long?
You'd think I'd awake
And find me gone
What am I doin' wrong?
Oh -
Katie, my wife
Timmy, my son
Lu tara lee, a-lie
We're far apart, and it tis a crime
This business of dyin' takes all my time
So, 'til we're together
Good-bye-o
With any luck, I'll try-o
To do as you did
And diе
Oh...
Lu tara lay
Lu tara lo
Lu tara lee a lie
