Kathy Shee, he came from Cooga in a place called Doon.
She was a very special girl.
A tailor named Timmy from the town of Tipperary saw her once and his heart was in a whirl.
They married and they settled in the little town of Newport.
They had a fine family.
And I'm a very lucky girl because her son was my father.
That made her a grandmother to me.
Grandma liked to sing the old Irish songs.
She liked the sweet melody.
She liked to play her fiddle in the kitchen by the fireside.
But best of all my grandma liked me.
