Katie - The Petersens (LIVE) feat. Pat Kelleher

You all have heard us talk about Pat Kelleher, our dear friend from Ireland. Well, he visited us in Branson and we decided to record a video with him!

We learned "Katie" when Katie went to Oxford to study in 2015, and Pat knows the song well from singing it to his lovely wife Kathleen. It is a special one for all of us, enjoy!

►Ireland, and especially Pat, have been a big influence on our music:

►Jamming with Ger O'Donnell and his bouzouki on our 2019 trip to Ireland:

►LYRICS - Katie
Tumbling curls of green
By stained glass streaming light
And the yellow colored lampshades
Used to keep us up all night
And the smile upon your face
And the tears upon your cheek
And the night sky on the window
Your heart calling out to me

Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye

The mirror that won't talk
And your nightgown on the door
The old pedal Singer*
Just won't sing no more
You can roll the reel for hours
From the movie of this book
It's a question mark upon this heart of mine
Cause an elder back to look

Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye

Now I'm looking through a tunnel
Back into the room
With the genius of a druid
The sunlight floods the tomb
And I'm never going back there
And I couldn't anyway
'Cause though I made the great escape
I never got away

Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye

Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye, Katie
Katie

This collaboration was so enjoyable with my friends The Petersen's. Thanks so much for inviting me to put a version of one of my most favourite songs together with you. This is what makes music so special in my opinion as a universal language, getting together from different continents and different generations. It was so special to be with you in Branson as our outstanding hosts and see your beautiful area in reality. Eternal memories. Your hard working ethic as a band is inspirational and watching you all growing into world class artists through the last several years makes me proud to be your friends both personally and in music. Can't wait to see you all again. Sláinte from Cork, Ireland. ☘🪕💚 #ThePetersens

[victorriceroni]

This band is a shining light in this dark world.

[hemichargerrt]

Absolutely can't stop watchin this!!!

[bigdog]

Emmett is one of the cleanest dobro players i've ever witnessed. I could listen to him jam al day.

[Parkplayground]

Julianne sings with so much emotion she takes a song to higher level than it would otherwise have. Very gifted singer.

[jimmyruger]

WOW ! witnessing Juliannes maturity, she has always been a beautiful entertainer, but now in 2024/25 she has it nailed.

[nealguentzel]

This combination of my favorite band The Petersens and my favorite Irish folk-singer Pat Kelleher have created a beautiful gem of a Irish song that's sad but you have to keep playing it over and over again because it's so good. Julianne and Pat are terrific singing together and everyone's musical magic combine to make this live video simply OUTSTANDING!

[jameschronister]

For some reason Pat Kelleher doing this song brought back fond memories of Gordon Lightfoot. Another great performance from the Petersens.

[Вася-юьг]

Julianne has brought a special harmony into this song with her voice-wonderful😊

[boatlover]

Katie looks more beautiful than ever. Beautiful song.

[kevo]

A ballad written by the famous Irish song writer and performer Jimmy McCarthy. Other songs of his include Ride On, the contender, the bright blue rose, Adam at the window, mystic lipstick, No frontiers wow what a song writer and what a performance by the Petersens and Pat Kelleher. I love the Petersens would love to see them live. Greetings from Ireland

[paddy]

Beautiful rendering of a wonderful Irish song 🎵 🇮🇪 ❤ 🇺🇸

[steveessex]

What an Honor it must be to play along with the Petersens

[FrankvdMuijsenberg]

Probably one of the best Irish songs ever written. It paints a vivid picture of nostalgic longing and regret. Mr. Kelleher has a very soothing voice that fits the song very well. But so does Julianne's! A poetic song like this is where she really excels with her unique, ethereal voice. Absolute goosebumps, bravo!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[danielnickel]

Super beautiful. I can hear you all day long. Keep it up.

[doug-mgnmkbw]

Such a sad song. I keep wanting to listen to it over and over! Pat and Julianne sing well together.

[eugeneclark]

Sweet mandolin player and Best Duet Song in a long time.

[DrBeckyEm]

The fiddle and dobro add greatly to this beautiful

[Roberto-pdvn]

A very beautiful song with truly poetic lyrics, written by a brilliant Irish singer-songwriter, Jimmy Mac Carthy, little known, unfortunately, in the rest of the world. I believe that the author himself has never interpreted it, or at least I have not found any trace of it. This version, together with Pat's solo version, is one of the best ever. Pat's voice and guitar, Julianne's voice that masterfully sings the second verse and harmonizes in the choruses, Katie's fiddle and Emmett's dobro, together with the other instruments, make this poignant ballad something absolutely unique and sublime. This confirms, once again, that the Petersens/Ireland combination is something that works very well and always provides great performances. 🍀❤
