I love him faithfully,
And he knows it, oh, he knows it! without one word from me.
My heart was full, but when I wrote, I dared not put the half in,
The neighbors know I love him, and they’re mighty fond of chaffing;
And I dared not write his name outside, for fear they would be laughing,
So I wrote, “From little Kate to one whom she loves faithfully.”
I love him faithfully,
And he knows it, oh, he knows it! without one word from me.
Now, girls, would you believe it, that Postman, so consaited,
No answer will he bring me, so long as I have waited;
