Intro :
When I first came to t own,
They cal led me the roving j ewel;
N ow they've changed their t une,
They c all me Katie Cruel,
Through the woods I go,
And through the bogs and mire,
Straightway down the road,
'til I come to my heart's desire,
[Refrain :]
Oh if 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 be, I c an not,
When I first came to town,
They brought me bottles plenty;
Now they've changed their tune,
They bring me the bottles empty,
[Refrain]
I know who I love,
And I know who does love me;
I know where I'm going,
And I know who's going with me,
[Refrain]
When I first came to town
They called me the roving jewel
Now they've changed their tune
They call me Katy Cruel
