Katie Dear Lyrics
Katie Dear - The Louvin Brothers
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 and ask your father
If you can be a bride of mine
If he says yes come on back and tell me
If he says no we'll run away
Oh Willie dear there's no use in asking
He's in he's there too up taking rest
And by his side lies that golden dagger
To slay the one that I love best
Then he picked up that silver dagger
And plunged it through his troubled heart
Saying goodbye Katy 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 momma
I'll die with the one that I love best
