When I first came to town, nthey called me the roving jewelnNow they've changed their tune;nCall me Katie CruelnnThrough the woods I runnThrough the boggy mirenStraightaway down the roadnTill I come to my heart's desirennIf I was what I would be, nThen I'd be what I am notnHere I am where I must benWhere I would be, I cannotnnWhen I first came to town,nThey bought me drinks a-plentynNow they've changed their tunenBring me bottles emptynnIf I was what I would benThen I'd be what I am notnHere I am, where I must benWhere I would be, I cannotnnWhen I first came to townnThey called me the roving jewelnNow they've changed their tune;nCall me Katie Cruel.
