Linda Thompson - Katy Cruel

Текст песни

First when I came to town,
they called me the roving jewel.
Now I’ve settled down,
they call my Katy Cruel.
Hi-fiddle-la-lih-day
Hi-fil-it-ful-fi-do-day
Oh, that I was where I would be,
then I would be where I’m not.
Here I am, where I must be.
Where I would be, I cannot.
Hi-fiddle-la-lih-day
Hi-fil-it-ful-fi-do-day
First when I came to town,
they brought me bottles plenty.
Now that I’ve settled down,
they bring me the bottles empty.
Hi-fiddle-la-lih-day
Hi-fil-it-ful-fi-do-day
I’ll dye my petticoats red
and face them with the yellow.
I’ll tell all the boys,
my own heart I will follow.
Hi-fiddle-la-lih-day
Hi-fil-it-ful-fi-do-day
I know who I love,
and I know who does love me.
I know where I’m goin'
and I know who’s goin' with me.
Hi-fiddle-la-lih-day
Hi-fil-it-ful-fi-do-day
Oh, down the road I go
and through the boggy mire,
straight way through the field,
and to my heart’s desire.
Hi-fiddle-la-lih-day
Hi-fil-it-ful-fi-do-day
