Katie With The Dancing Feet

Her ageing husband in the pub is getting sloshed on booze
Katie with the dancing feet where are your dancing shoes?
On his way home from work each day he has his fill of grog
She sits at home and waits for him her only friend her dog

Their only child a married mum in her early forties lives in another town
In time it has been many years since Katie's hair was a natural brown
in her mid sixties a well known dancer when in her life's prime
She has lost some of her beauty and dancing skill with the passing of time

'Tis true enough that love is blind that's why she married Fred
Always quite good at drinking grog and he was good in bed
She fell for him in a big way he turned on the charm
Not much good as a husband though he's never caused her physical harm

She did give up a thing she loved for to be a good wife
For dancing meant so much to her in her young years in life
With Fred she has fallen out of love and she feels she has lost the dancing skill
At sixty five for to make a comeback she lacks the confidence and will

She sits at home and waits for Fred he once was her soul mate
With him she has fallen out of love him she just tolerate
She resigned from dancing for to marry him sometimes we err in how we choose
Oh Katie with the dancing feet where are your dancing shoes?
