Stewart, Al - Katherine Of Oregon Lyrics
When I get even more old than I am now
I'll have a house overlooking the water
I'll read all the books that I never got 'round to
And pile my suitcases up in the corner
Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again
Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
I'll fill my garage up with things I've no use for
Obsolete knick-knacks that there's no excuse for
I'll turn my back on the world's grand illusions
Take my delights in the simplest amusements
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
I'll wear my clothes with their colors all clashing
They'll be so old that they'll come back in fashion
I'll sit on the beach with my paper wrapped luncheon
I'll enjoy being the ancient curmudgeon
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
Names in my memory are there then they're gone again
I'll have a jukebox and play Lonnie Donegan
And I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon

Stewart, Al Katherine Of Oregon Comments
beautiful,thanks for posting
I sang this song to my granddaughter every night when she was a toddler. Of course, she loved "JULIA of Oregon". lol
I love his music. In this case he lifts Catherine of Aragon for the title. His phrasing is so gentle and easy and amazing. A vastly underrated treasure of a songwriter and recording artist.
God is being gracious to me in the loss of my late wife. I have a new lady friend to help me get through the rest of my life. Thank You ledraps22 for the kind comments.
I always thought this song was about her:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Aragon
Even though the lyrics dont really make sense now I think of it xD
I heard Al Stewart say the song title was a play on the name Catherine of Aragon in that he would be happy to grow old with the less exotic Katherine of Oregon.
Being in retirement I just love this song. . .
