Katy dear
Oh Katy dear go ask your mother If you can be a bride of mine If she says yes come back and tell me If she says no we'll run away Oh willie dear I cannot ask her She's in her room up taking a rest And by her side is a silver dagger To slay the man that I love best Oh Katy dear go sak your brother If you can be a bride of mine If he says yes come back and tell me If he says no we'll run away Oh Willie dear I cannot ask him For he's there to up taking a rest And by his side that silver dagger To slay the one that I love best Then he picked up that silver dagger And stove it through his weary heart Saying goodbye Katy, goodbye darling At last the time has come to part Then she picked up that bloody dagger And stove it through her lilly white breast Saying goodbye Willie, goodbye mother I'll die with the one that I love best
