Lyrics
- Oh! sweet Kitty Carney has no use for blarney
The clock says a quarter to eight
Her tears come a-creeping
First thing she’ll be weeping
Her Barney’s not keeping his date
But a messenger boy brings a message of joy
And a song bubbles out of her throat
For the address is Carney, the signature’s “Barney”
And this is the note that the bold Spaniard wrote
Chorus
“Meet me down at the corner
I’ll be waiting for you
A bushel of blarney and kisses I’ll bring
All bound ’round with a gold wedding ring
For you’re coming out Miss Kitty Carney
But you’re oing back Missis McCue
So don’t linger longer
Come down to the corner
And bring your heart with you”
- A lookout I’m keeping, your mother is sleeping
Your Daddy I’m peeping at, too
Behind a cigar in O’ Riley’s “Bazaar”
But O’ Riley won’t close up ’till two
So, Acushla, don’t worry, but put on more hurry
Your Barney is wating for you
Tho’ I haven’t a ransom, to pay for a hansom
I’ve got trolley transfers, and if that will do
