about

Our take on the traditional folk song, also performed by Joan Baez and Bob Dylan.

lyrics

Oh Katie dear, go ask your momma
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

Oh Willie dear, ain’t no use in asking
She’s in her room-a taking rest
And by her side lies a silver dagger
To slay the one, that i love best

Oh Katie dear, then go ask your poppa
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

Oh Willie dear, ain’t no use in asking
For he’s in his room-a taking rest
And by his side lies a silver dagger
To kill the one, that i love best

So then he picked up, that silver dagger
He stove it through his troubled young heart
Saying goodbye Katie, goodbye darling
I’ll die for the one, that i love best

Then she picked up, that bloody dagger
She stove it through her lily white breast
Saying goodbye momma, goodbye poppa
I’ll die for the one, that i love best
