Two sisters lived alone out in the country their names were Katy and her sister Liz   They farmed to raise the food that graced their table   Liz never went to town but Katy did   Katy went to town each Saturday morning to sell the eggs and buy for her and Liz   Their only needs just some salt and sugar they grew the rest her and sister Liz   Liz never went to town like Katy did Liz never knew a man but Katy did   For I saw them one evening when they thought they were hid   And you should've seen the things that him and Katy did   [ steel ]   I walked by Liz and Katy's house each evening   Through the woods on my way home from school   Then one evening Katy smiled and spoke so softly   As I stood there blushing like a fool   Then she asked me if I'd like to have some cookies   That she baked for her and sister Liz   Then as Katy took me in their kitchen I never closed the door but Katy did   She took my hand and my heart beat so wildly   I sound like coffee a perking with no lid   And I shook so bad I've even dropped my cookies I didn't know of love but Katy did   Liz never knew a man but Katy did she said it's lonely here with sister Liz   But I just kept on eatin' cookies I was just a dumb kid   I wish I'd known of love back then like Katy did   Oh I wish I'd known of love back then like Katy did
