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.» |
