Putrid Kate
Well Putrid Kate had a sorry time in Nantasket
She had eight kids while her Henry was at state
On the ninth one she collapsed into a basket
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
She lived to praise the glorious hereafter
Her present was the bane of all her days
Her renaissance was carved in alabaster
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
A marshal from Manhattan had been a suitor
As had been a baker and a waif
And she settled on someone who didn't suit her
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
She worried him a riot act in sutures
He cried out and reached for the cake
Some kind of unclean presence would pollute her
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
Beneath this mound of cherry stones she is hidden
Clutching a pair of shears so long and straight
They'll flash and fly the day that she is risen
Once there, here goes Putrid Kate
Once there, here goes Putrid Kate
She had eight kids while her Henry was at state
On the ninth one she collapsed into a basket
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
She lived to praise the glorious hereafter
Her present was the bane of all her days
Her renaissance was carved in alabaster
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
A marshal from Manhattan had been a suitor
As had been a baker and a waif
And she settled on someone who didn't suit her
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
She worried him a riot act in sutures
He cried out and reached for the cake
Some kind of unclean presence would pollute her
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
Once here, there goes Putrid Kate
Beneath this mound of cherry stones she is hidden
Clutching a pair of shears so long and straight
They'll flash and fly the day that she is risen
Once there, here goes Putrid Kate
Once there, here goes Putrid Kate
