Lyrics

When I first came to town
They called me the roving jewel;
Now they’ve changed their tune
They call me Katy Cruel
Oh, diddle, lully day
Oh, de little lioday
Chorus
Oh that I was where I would be
Then I would be where I am not
Here I am where I must be
Go where I would, I can not
Oh, diddle, lully day
Oh, de little lioday
When I first came to town
They brought me the bottles plenty;
Now they’ve changed their tune
They bring me the bottles empty
Oh, diddle, lully day
Oh, de little lioday
Chorus
I know who I love
And I know who does love me;
I know where I’m going
And I know who’s going with me
Oh, diddle, lully day
Oh, de little lioday
Chorus
Through the woods I go
And through the bogs and mire
Straightway down the road
And to my heart’s desire
Oh, diddle, lully day
Oh, de little lioday
Chorus
Eyes as bright as coal
Lips as bright as cherry
And 'tis her delight
To make the young girls merry
Oh, diddle, lully day
Oh, de little lioday
Chorus
When I first came to town
They called me the roving jewel
Now they’ve changed their tune
They call me Katy Cruel
Oh, diddle, lully day
Oh, de little lioday
