You all have heard us talk about Pat Kelleher, our dear friend from Ireland. Well, he visited us in Branson and we decided to record a video with him!
We learned "Katie" when Katie went to Oxford to study in 2015, and Pat knows the song well from singing it to his lovely wife Kathleen. It is a special one for all of us, enjoy!
►Ireland, and especially Pat, have been a big influence on our music:

►LYRICS - Katie
Tumbling curls of green
By stained glass streaming light
And the yellow colored lampshades
Used to keep us up all night
And the smile upon your face
And the tears upon your cheek
And the night sky on the window
Your heart calling out to me
Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
The mirror that won't talk
And your nightgown on the door
The old pedal Singer*
Just won't sing no more
You can roll the reel for hours
From the movie of this book
It's a question mark upon this heart of mine
Cause an elder back to look
Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
Now I'm looking through a tunnel
Back into the room
With the genius of a druid
The sunlight floods the tomb
And I'm never going back there
And I couldn't anyway
'Cause though I made the great escape
I never got away
Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye, Katie
Katie
