Katy Dear |
| «O Katy, dear, go ask your father |
| If you might be a bride of mine. |
| If he says yes, then come and tell me, |
| If he says no, we’ll run away.» |
| «I cannot go and ask my father, |
| For he is on his bed of rest, |
| And by his side there’s a golden dagger |
| To pierce the heart I love the best.» |
| «O Katy, dear, go ask your mother |
| If you might be a bride of mine. |
| If she says yes, then come and tell me, |
| If she says no, we’ll run away.» |
| «I cannot go and ask my mother, |
| For she is on her bed of rest, |
| And by her side there’s a silver dagger |
| To pierce the heart I love the best.» |
| Oh, he picked up a silver dagger, |
| He pierced it through his wounded breast. |
| «Farewell, Katy, farewell, darlin', |
| I’ll die for the one I love the best.» |
| Oh, she picked up the bloody weapon, |
| She pierced it through her snow-white breast. |
| «Farewell, mama, farewell, papa, |
| I’ll go with the one I love the best.» |
