When I first came to town they called me the roving jewel
Now they've changed their tune, call me Katy Crow
Through the woods I am going, through the boggy mire
Straightway down the road till 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 cannot
When I first came to town they bought me drinks a-plenty
Now they've changed their tune, hand me the bottles 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 cannot
When I first came to town they called me the roving jewel
Now they've changed their tune, call me Katy Crow
