Katy Cruel

When I first came to town,
They called me the roving jewel;
Now they’ve changed their tune,
They call me Katy Cruel.
Through the woods I’ll go,
Through the bogs and mire,
Straightway down the road
To my heart’s desire.
Chorus
If I was where I would be,
Then I would be where I am not,
Here I am where I must be,
Where I would be, I can not.
’Cause I know who I love,
I know who does love me,
I know where I’m going
And I know who’s going with me.
When I first came to town,
They brought me the bottles plenty;
Now they’ve changed their tune,
And bring me the bottles empty,
I’ll dye my dresses red,
And lace them with the yellow,
And I’ll tell all the boys
My own heart I will follow.
Chorus
I know who I love,
I know who does love me,
I know where I’m going
And I know who’s going with me.
I know who I love,
I know who does love me,
I know where I’m going
And I know who’s going with me.
