Katie Dear

Katie Dear - The Blue Sky Boys

Oh Katie dear go ask your mama

If you can be a bride of mine

If she says yes come back and tell me

If she says no we'll run away

Oh Willie dear there's no need in asking

She's in her room taking a rest

And by her side is a silver dagger

To slay the one that I love best

Oh Katie dear go ask your papa

If you can be a bride of mine

If he says yes come back and tell me

If he says no we'll run away

Oh Willie dear there's no need in asking

He's in his room taking a rest

And by his side is a silver dagger

To slay the one that I love best

So he picked up that silver dagger

And plunged it through his troubled heart

Saying goodbye Katie goodbye darling

It's now forever we must part

So she picked up that bloody dagger

And plunged it through her lily white breast

Saying goodbye papa goodbye mama

I'll die for the one that I love best
