O, Katy dear, go ask your mama
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
O, Willie dear, there's no need asking
She's in her room, taking a rest
And by her side's a silver dagger
To slay the one that I love best
O, Katy dear, go ask your papa
If you can be a bride of mine
If he says yes, come back and tell me
If he says no, we'll run away
O, Willie dear, there's no need asking
He's in his room, taking a rest
And by his side's a silver dagger
To slay the one that I love best
Then he picked up that silver dagger
And stove it through his troubled heart
Saying goodbye Katy, goodbye darling
It's now forever me must part
Then she picked up that bloody dagger
And stove it through her lily-white breast
Saying goodbye mama, goodbye papa
I'll die for the one that I love best
