Katy Cruel Songtext
von Lady Maisery

When I first came to town, they called me the roving jewel
Now they′ve changed their tune, they call me Katy Cruel
Day-ah-dee-ooh-den-daddy-day
When I first came to town, they bought me drinks aplenty
Now they've changed their tune, they bring me bottles empty
Day-ah-dee-ooh-den-daddy-day

Oh, if I was what I would be then I would be what I am not
But I am what I must be, what I would be I cannot
Day-ah-dee-ooh, day-ah-dee-ooh-den-daddy-day

Through the woods I go, through the boggy mire
Straightway down the road, to my heart′s desire
Day-ah-dee-ooh-den-daddy-day


Oh, if I was what I would be then I would be what I am not
But I am what I must be, what I would be I cannot
Day-ah-dee-ooh, day-ah-dee-ooh-den-daddy-day

I know who I am, I know who's going with me
I know who I love, but Lord knows if I'll marry
Day-ah-dee-ooh-den-daddy-day

Oh, if I was what I would be then I would be what I am not
But I am what I must be, what I would be I cannot
Day-ah-dee-ooh, day-ah-dee-ooh-den-daddy-day

I′ll dye my petticoats red and face them with the yellow
And I′ll tell all the lads my own heart I will follow
Day-ah-dee-ooh-den, day-ah-dee-ooh-den
Day-ah-dee-ooh-den, day-ah-dee-ooh-den
Day-ah-dee-ooh-den, day-ah-dee-ooh-den
Day-ah-dee-ooh-den-daddy-oh
