Katie Cruel

(Album: Shuckin' Sugar - 2022)

When I first came to town
They call' me the roving jewel
Now they've changed their tune
Call me Katie Cruel

Wish 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

Through the woods I am going
Through the boggy mire
Straight way down the road
'Til I come to my heart's desire

Wish 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 a' plenty
Now they've changed their tune
Hand me the bottles empty

Wish 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
