Katie cruel

from PAo #2 by Known Dwarf

lyrics

When I first came to town,
They called me the roving jewel;
Now they've changed their tune,
They call me Katy Cruel,

Oh that I was where I would be,
Then I would be where I am not,
Here I am where I must be,
Go where I would, I can not,

When I first came to town,
They brought me the bottles plenty;
Now they've changed their tune,
They bring me the bottles empty,

I know who I love,
And I know who does love me;
I know where I'm going,
And I know who's going with me,

Through the woods I go,
And through the bogs and mire,
Straightway down the road,
And to my heart's desire,

Eyes as bright as coal,
Lips as bright as cherry,
and 'tis her delight
To make the young girls merry,

When I first came to town
They called me the roving jewel
Now they've changed their tune
They call me Katy Cruel
