| Katy’s down by the cellar door
|
| Calls for me to go
|
| Back down to the clover
|
| Singing soft and low
|
| Singing soft and low
|
| My little one’s mother is
|
| Holding him and crying
|
| She hears Katy call my name
|
| And I can see her dying
|
| Katy says she loves me
|
| I used to feel the same
|
| Walking by the old boneyard
|
| Calling out my name
|
| Hand in hand we laid the deed
|
| And evil we have done
|
| Evil I will do no more
|
| To a mother and her son
|
| Katy Katy stay away from me
|
| I could never quit you, no
|
| You gotta let me be
|
| Sharpened up my razor, picked a piece of ground
|
| One of these dark and moonless nights
|
| Be the last around
|
| My lover turns to walk away
|
| And I follow close behind
|
| Trouble in my pocket
|
| Sorrow in my mind and
|
| Hand in hand we laid the deed
|
| And evil we have done
|
| Evil I will do no more
|
| To a mother and her son
|
| Katy Katy stay away from me
|
| I could never quit you, no
|
| You gotta let me be
|
| Sharpened up my razor, picked a piece of ground
|
| One of these dark and moonless nights
|
| Be the last around
|
| Dark is finally coming on and
|
| Silence in the woods
|
| Would a man do over if the lord said that he could
|
| God it’s too late now the night has come
|
| Trouble them no more
|
| The cold steel blade across my neck
|
| Suffering will be over
|
| Katy Katy stay away from me
|
| I could never quit you, no
|
| You gotta let me be
|
| Sharpened up my razor, picked a piece of ground
|
| One of these dark and moonless nights
|
| Will be the last around |
