Lyrics for Katie Cruel

When I first came to town They called me the roving jewel Now they've changed their tune Call me Katie Cruel Through the woods I'm going And through the boggy mire Straight way down the road 'Til I come to my heart's desire If I was where I would be Then I'd be where I am not Here I am where I must be Where I would be, I can not When I first came to town They bought me drinks plenty Now they've changed their tune And hand me the bottle empty If I was where I would be Then I'd be where I am not Here I am where I must be Where I would be, I can not
