The Death Of Little Kathy Fiscus Composer(s): Jimmie Osborne Performer(s): Jimmie Osborne; Howard Vokes
On April the eighth, the year forty-nine Death claimed a little child, so pure and so fine Kathy they called her, met her doom that day I know it was God that called her away
Playmates of Kathy were all havin' fun The story was told, they all started to run And as they looked back, she wasn't there It's so sad to think of this tragic affair
Just like a beast in a forest that day The abandoned well took Kathy away For over two days the well was her tomb Everyone kept prayin' they'd get her out soon
Thousands were there, from far and from near Workmen they struggled, against sadness and tears But after two days, their hopes grew so weak They called down to Kathy, but she never did speak
After working so hard, both day and night Digging for hours, she came into sight The little darlin' was dead, her life it was gone Now in San Merino there's a heartbroken home
I'm sure she's an angel in God's peaceful fold Playing with children in a mansion of gold As I stand alone, humbly I bow I know Kathy's happy, up there with God now
