[Verse 1]
When I first came to town
They called me the roving jewel
Now they've change their tune
Call me Katie Cruel
[Chorus]
'Cause 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
[Verse 2]
Through the woods I go
Down the boggy mire
Straight way down the road
To my heart’s desire
[Chorus]
'Cause 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
[Verse 3]
When I first came to town
They poured me drinks a-plenty
Now they’ve changed their tune
Hand me bottles empty
[Chorus]
'Cause 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
[Verse 1]
When I first came to town
They called me the roving jewel
Now they've change their tune
Call me Katie Cruel
