For I would not have the postmaster make his remarks upon it,
As I said inside the letter that I loved him faithfully.
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 dare not put the half in;
The neighbours know I love him, and they’re mighty fond of chaffing,
So 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.
