Katy Cruel

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

Come diddle un day oh little I oh day
Oh that I was what I would be there to be where
I am not here am I where I must be go where I would
I cannot.
Come diddle un day oh little I oh day

When I was young and twenty, they brought me the bottles plenty.
Now they've changed their tune, they bring me the bottles empty.

Come diddle un day oh little I oh day
Oh that I was what I would be there to be where
I am not here am I where I must be go where I would
I cannot.
Come diddle un day oh little I oh day

Well, down the road I'll go and through the boggy mire
Straight way cross the fields into my heart's desire.

Come diddle un day oh little I oh day
Oh that I was what I would be there to be where
I am not here am I where I must be go where I would
I cannot.
Come diddle un day oh little I oh day
