Oh Katie dear, go ask your mama If you can be bride of mine If she says yes, come back and tell me If she says no, we’ll run away 
Oh Willie dear, there no use in asking She’s in her room a-taking a rest And by her side is a silver dagger To slay the one that I love best 
Oh Katie dear, go ask your papa 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, there no use in asking He’s in his room a-taking a rest And by his side there’s a silver dagger To slay the one that I love best 
Then he picked up that silver dagger And stove it through his weary heart Saying goodbye Katie, goodbye darling At last the time has come to part 
Then she picked up that bloody dagger And stove it through her lily white breast Saying goodbye papa, goodbye mama I’ll die for the one that I love best
