Katie Dear

Katie Dear - 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

For 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

The time has come for us 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
