Dumb Kate Lyrics - Incredible String Band

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 

Going where the sun is glowing 

She'll keep your blood just moving right till the thaw
