KATY DEAR "O Katy dear, go ask your father If you might be a bride of mine. If he says yes, then come and tell me. If he says no, we'll run away." "I cannot go and ask my father, For he is on his bed of rest, And by his side, there's a golden dagger To pierce the heart I love the best." "O Katy dear, go ask your mother If you might be a bride of mine. If she says yes, then come and tell me. If she says no, we'll run away." "I cannot go and ask my mother, For she is on her bed of rest, And by her side, there's a silver dagger To pierce the heart I love the best." He picked up a silver dagger. He pierced it through his wounded breast. "Farewell Katy. Farewell, darling. I'll die for the one I love the best." She picked up the bloody weapon She pierced it through her snow-white breast. "Farewell, Momma. Farewell, Poppa. I'll go with the one I love the best." Sung by Ian & Sylvia on "Four Strong Winds," 1964. @suicide filename[ SILVDAG3 XX Feb07  8note Sheet |
