Oh Katie dear go ask your mama
|
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 there's no use in asking
|
For she's in her room a taking rest
|
And by her side lies a silver dagger
|
To slay the one that I love best
|
|
Oh Katie dear go ask your papa
|
If you could 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 there's no use in asking
|
For he's in his room a taking rest
|
And by his side lies a silver dagger
|
To slay the one that I love best
|
|
Then he picked up that silver dagger
|
And he stove it through her troubled heart
|
Saying goodbye Katie goodbye darlin
|
I'll die for the one that I love best
|
|
Then she picked up that bloody dagger
|
And she stove it through her lily white breast
|
Saying goodbye mama goodbye papa
|
I'll die for the one that I love best
|
