When first I came to town
They called me the roving jewel
Now they’ve changed their tune
They call me Katy Cruel
Oh, diddle all the day
Oh the diddle all the right fol day
Oh that I was where I would be
Then would I be where I am not
Here I am where I must be
Where I would be I cannot
Oh, diddle all the day
Oh the diddle all the right fol day
When first I came to town
They brought me the bottles plenty
Now they’ve changed their tune
They bring me the bottles empty
Oh, diddle all the day
Oh the diddle all the right fol day
Chorus
I know who I love
I know who does love me
I know where I’ll go
And I know who’ll go with me
Oh, diddle all the day
Oh the diddle all the right fol day
Chorus
O’er the fields I’ll go
Through the boggy mire
Straightway down the road
‘Til I come to mi heart’s desire
Oh, diddle all the day
Oh the diddle all the right fol day
Chorus
