The Louvin Brothers - Tragic Songs of Life

Katie Dear

Oh Katie dear go ask your mother
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 there's no use in asking
she's in the room and taking rest
and by her side there's a silver dagger
to slay the one that I love best
Oh Katie dear go ask your father
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 there's no use in asking
and by her side there's a golden dagger
to slay the one that I love best
Then he picked up this golden dagger
and stoved it through his troubled heart
saying goodbye Katie goodbay darling
at last the time as come to part
Then she picked up this bloody dagger
and stoved it through her lily white breast
saying goodbye papa goodbye mama
I'll die with the one that I love best
