You Can't Shush Katie

You Can't Shush Katie (Album Version) - Clarence Williams' Blue Five

I met the loudest gal in New Orleans

She calls her mouth Katie Brown

She's got the loudest mouth in New Orleans

And that's a loud Southern town

When Katie talks she really yells;

When Katie squawks she raises - well

The townfolk try to hush her but I claim

They can't calm her down

Oh you can't shush Katie

The talky little lady

The gabbiest gal in town

When she was young they say Doctor Beedle

Vaccinated her with a phonograph needle

Her idle chatter and foolish patter

Makes you wanna strap her down

When she comes in to say "Hello "

You have to disconnect the radio

Oh you can't shush Katie

The proper little lady

The gabbiest gal in town

Oh you can't shush Katie

The talky little lady

The gabbiest gal in town

When she was young they say Doctor Beedle

Vaccinated her with a phonograph needle

Her idle chatter and foolish patter

Makes you wanna strap her down

When she comes in to say "Hello "

You have to disconnect the radio

Oh you can't shush Katie

The proper little lady

The gabbiest gal in town
