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 day, oh diddle lie o day         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 day, oh diddle lie o day         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 day, oh diddle lie o day         CHORUS         I know who I love   And I know who does love me   I know where I'm going   And I know whose going with me   Oh diddle day, oh diddle lie o day         CHORUS         Down the road I go   And through the boggy mire   Straight way cross the field   And to my heart's desire   Oh, diddle day, oh, diddle lie o day         CHORUS
