Dave van Ronk - Sister kate

^D7 I went to a dance with my sister Kate ^G Everybody there said she danced so great I ^D7realized a thing or two: Old ^GKate, she was into something new! When^D7 I looked at Katie she was in a trance ^G And then I knew it was in her dance Now ^C6every^C#dimbody’s g^G6oing w^E7ild Ab^Aadd9out my Katie’s da^D7ncing s^Gtyle!

^D7 Wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate ^G Kate can shake it like jelly on a plate My^D7 mama wanted to know last night How ^Gsister Kate could do it oh so nice Now,^D7 all the boys in the neighborhood ^GKnew Kate could shimmy, and it's mighty good

Now I^C6 may be ^C#dimlate, but I'll be^G6 up to ^E7date When I can^Aadd9 shimmy like my s^D7ister K^Gate. Oh ye^E7ah, ^Aadd9Shake it like my s^D7ister K^Gate.

Now if^D7 I could shake it like my sister Kate, Oh I'd n^Gever stay home, I'd stay out too late I^D7 get myself about as high as a kite ^GYou know I'd do it for you every night. Now,^D7 all the boys in the neighborhood ^GKnew Kate could shimmy, and it's mighty good

Now I^C6 may be ^C#dimlate, but I'll be^G6 up to ^E7date When I can^Aadd9 shimmy like my s^D7ister K^Gate. Oh ye^E7ah, ^Aadd9Shake it like my s^D7ister K^Gate.
