Dumb Kate she's no Indian no Mexican neither
Come up from San Diego long ago
Settled in Nome Alaska, best place that she could be
Half the people there froze right to the bone
Warm'em up Kate

Nobody does business like Kate do
Dumb as she is
She's so dumb she don't know just when to stop
Dumb as she is
Oh oh she don't quit givin' it
No no she don't quit givin' it
If the corn liquor don't get to you
Kate will

She used to serve tables down at the Last Post grill room
Where they chewed on the beef with a lean and a hunted jaw
While waiting for that slow train
Gooing where the sun is glowing
She'll keep your blood just moving right till the thaw
