Katie Dear

Katie Dear - The Louvin Brothers

Written by：William Bolick

Oh Katy dear go ask your mother

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 use in asking

She's in her room up taking rest

And by her side lies a silver dagger

To slay the one that I love best

Oh Katy dear go ask your father

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 use in asking

He's in his room up taking rest

And by his side lies that golden dagger

To slay the one that I love best

Then he picked up this golden dagger

And stove it through his troubled heart

Saying goodbye Katie goodbye darling

At last the time has come to part

Then she picked up that bloody dagger

And stove it through her lily white breast

Saying goodbye papa goodbye mama

I'll die with the one that I love best
