Biography:
Jimmie Osborne, a native of Winchester, Ky., sang country music over radio stations in Lexington, Shreveport, Nashville and Louisville during a career that started when he was 15 years old. He was reported to be the highest-paid performer in the radio and television field in Louisville at one time.
As a recording artist, Osborne was best known for two hits--"My Heart Echoes", his first record and one that hit the best seller list in the country music field in 1947, and a few years later, "The Death of Kathy Fiscus", which sold 1,000,000 copies.

On April the 8th, the year forty- -nine

Death claimed a little child, so pure and so fine
F C
Kathy they called her, met her doom that day
G C
*I know it was God, that called her a- -way
G C C7
Playmates of Kathy, were all havin' fun
F C C7
The story was told, they all started to run
F C
And as they looked back, she wasn't there
G C
It's so sad to think of this tragic af- -fair
G C C7
Just like a beast in a forest that day
F C C7
The abandoned well, took Kathy a- -way
F C
For over two days, the well was her tomb
G C
**Everyone kept prayin' they'd get her out soon
C G C C7
Thousands were there, from far and from near
F C C7
Work men they struggled, against sadness and tears
F C
But after two days, their hopes grew so weak
G C
**They called down to Kathy but she never did speak
Instrumental: Follow pattern of line just finished**
G C C7
After working so hard, both day and night
F C C7
Digging for hours, she came into sight
F C
The little darlin' was dead, her life it was gone
G C
Now in San Merino, there's a heart broken home
G C C7
I'm sure she's an angel, in God's peaceful fold
F C C7
Playing with children, in a mansion of gold
F C
As I stand alone, humbly I bow
G C
I know Kathy's happy, up there with God now
