Lyrics Katy Cruel - Joe Dassin

Katy Cruel

When first I came to town,
They called me the roving jewel;
Now they’ve changed their tune,
They call me Katy Cruel,
Come-diddle-um-day,
Oh, little lioday.
Chorus
Oh, that I was where I would be,
There to be where I am not,
Here am I where I must be,
Go where I would, I can not,
Come-diddle-um-day,
Oh, little lioday.
When I was young and twenty,
They brought me the bottles plenty;
Now they’ve changed their tune,
They bring me the bottles empty,
Come-diddle-um-day,
Oh, little lioday.
Chorus
Well, down the road I’ll go,
And through the boggy mire,
Straightway down the road
And to my heart’s desire.
Come-diddle-um-day,
Oh, little lioday.
Chorus
