When i first came to town

They called me the roving jewel

Now they've changed their tune

They call me katy cruel

Oh diddle day, oh diddle lie o day





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

Oh diddle day, oh diddle lie o day





When i first came to town

They brought me the bottles plenty

Now they've changed their tune

They bring me the bottles empty

Oh diddle day, oh diddle lie o day





Chorus





I know who i love

And i know who does love me

I know where i'm going

And i know whose going with me

Oh diddle day, oh diddle lie o day





Chorus





Down the road i go

And through the boggy mire

Straight way cross the field

And to my heart's desire

Oh, diddle day, oh, diddle lie o day





Chorus
