Katie Dear Songtext
von Mapache

Oh, Katy dear, go ask your mother
If you might be a bride of mine
If she says yes, come back and tell me
If she says no, we′ll run away

Oh, Willy dear, there's no use asking
She′s in her room a-takin' rest
And by her side there's a silver dagger
To slay the one that I love best


Oh, Katy dear, go ask your father
If you might be a bride of mine
If he says yes, come back and tell me
If he says no, we′ll run away

Oh, Willy dear, there′s no use asking
He's in his room a-takin′ rest
And by his side there's a golden dagger
To slay the one that I love best

So he picked up that golden dagger
And stole it through his troubled heart
Sayin′, "Goodbye Katy, goodbye darlin'
At last the time has come to part"


Then she picked up that bloody dagger
And stole it through her lily-white breast
Sayin′, "Goodbye papa, goodbye mama
I'll die with the one that I love best"
