Katy Cruel (2) 
CHO: All that I am, that I would be Then I would be what I am not But I am what I must be What I would be, I can not Oh little lallie day, oh the little lee oh day 
When first I came to town They called me the roving jewel Now they've changed their tune: They call me Katy Cruel 
I know who I am I know who's goin' with me I know who I love But the Lord knows if I'll marry Oh little lallie day, oh the little lee oh day 
(chorus) When first I came to town They brought me the bottles plenty Now they've changed their tune: They bring me the bottles empty 
I'll dye my petticoats red And face them with the yellow Then I'll tell all the lads My own heart I will follow 
Oh little lallie day, oh the little lee oh day (chorus) 
It's down the road I go And through the boggy mire Straight way 'cross the town And to my heart's desire 
So hush, my pretty one For you I'll ne'er be sorry The heart of all my joy Is the heart of all my worry 
Oh little lallie day, oh the little lee oh day 
(chorus)
