When I first came to town
They called me the roving jewel
Now they've changed their tune
Call me Katie Cruel
Through the woods I'm going
And through the boggy mire
Straight way down the road
'Til I come to my heart's desire
If I was where I would be
Then I'd be where I am not
Here I am where I must be
Where I would be, I can not
When I first came to town
They bought me drinks plenty
Now they've changed their tune
And hand me the bottle empty
If I was where I would be
Then I'd be where I am not
Here I am where I must be
Where I would be, I can not
