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
