The song’s popularity was ensured by O'Hara teaching the song to US troops who then popularised the song to the point where publisher Leo Feist discovered it and began to make sheet music. The song also spread among soldiers from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom as they marched through Europe.Jimmy was a soldier brave and boldKaty was a maid with hair of goldLike an act of fate, Kate was standing at the gateWatching all the boys file on paradeKate smiled with a twinkle in her eyeJim said "M-m-meet you by-and-by!"That same night at eightJim was at the garden gateStuttering this song to K-K-K-Kate[Chorus]K-K-K-Katy, beautiful KatyYou're the only g-g-g-girl that I adoreWhen the m-m-m-moon shines over the cow shedI'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door[Verse 2]"No one ever looked so nice and neat!""No one could be just as cute and sweet!"That's what Jimmy thoughtWhen the wedding ring he boughtNow he's off to France the foe to meetJimmy thought he'd like to take a chanceSee if he could make the Kaiser danceStepping to a tune all about the silv'ry moonThis is what they hear in far off France[Chorus]K-K-K-Katy, beautiful KatyYou're the only g-g-g-girl that I adoreWhen the m-m-m-moon shines over the cow shedI'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
