Katy Cruel

First when I came to town,
 they called me the roving jewel.
 Now I've settled down,
 they call my Katy Cruel.

 Oh, that I was where I would be,
 then I would be where I'm not.
 Here I am, where I must be.
 Where I would be, I cannot.

 First when I came to town,
 they brought me bottles plenty.
 Now that I've settled down,
 they bring me the bottles empty.

 I'll dye my petticoats red
 and face them with the yellow.
 I'll tell all the boys,
 my own heart I will follow.
 Hi-fiddle-la-lih-day
 Hi-fil-it-ful-fi-do-day
 I know who I love,
 and I know who does love me.
 I know where I'm goin'
 and I know who's goin' with me.
 Hi-fiddle-la-lih-day
 Hi-fil-it-ful-fi-do-day
 Oh, down the road I go
 and through the boggy mire,
 straight way through the field,
 and to my heart's desire.
