Cat. #1224 (MFH #846) - As sung by Glenda Sue Richardson, Mountain View, Arkansas on August 31, 1971
VERSE 1
On April th eighth, th year forty-nine
Death claimed a little girl so pure an' so fine
It was Kathy they called her at -- next day
I'm sure it was God who called her away
VERSE 2
Playmates of Kathy were all having fun
Th story is told, she started to run
Then I looked back an' she was not there
It's so sad to think of this tragic affair
VERSE 3
Thousands were gathered from far an' from near
Workman --- -------- -- ----- ---- sincere
----- ----- ----- ---- ---- ----
They called down to Kathy but she didn't speak
VERSE 4
After working so hard by day an' by night
Workin' for hours she came into sight
---- --- ----- ----- her life was gone
------- ---- ---- --- hearts broken home
