Katie Cruel

Agnes Obel

When I first came to town,

They called me roving jewel;

Now they've changed their tune,

Call me Katy Cruel

Through the woods I'm going

Through the bogs and mire,

Straightway down the road,

To my heart's desire

When I first came to town,

They brought me drinks of plenty

Now they've changed their tune

Bring me bottles empty

Through the woods I'm going

Through the bogs and mire,

Straightway down the road,

To my heart's desire

Through the woods I'm going

Through the bogs and mire,

Straightway down the road,

If I was where I would be,

Then I would be where I am young man,

Here I am where I must be

Go where I would, I cannot.

Go where I would, I cannot.

Go where I would.
