Lyrics:
When first she came to town
They called her the roving jewel
Now they’ve changed their tune
And call her Katie Cruel
Oh lolly day
Oh the little le oh day
I know who I love
And Katie does not love me
I don’t know where I’ll go
Or who’ll be going with me
Oh lolly day
Oh the little le oh day
Oh that I were where I would be
Then I would be where I am not
But I am where I must be
Where I would be I cannot
Oh lolly day
Oh the little le oh day
Through the woods I’ll go
And through the bogs and mires
I’ll travel many roads
But none to my desires
Oh lolly day
Oh the little le oh day
Oh that I were where I would be
Then I would be where I am not
But I am where I must be
Where I would be I cannot
Oh lolly day
Oh the little le oh day
Oh that I were where I would be
Then I would be where I am not
But I am where I must be
Where I would be I cannot
Oh lolly day
Oh the little le oh day
