O diddle oh day, oh a diddle-oh aye-o day

First Verse (lead-on)

When first I came to town

They called me the roving jewel

Now they've changed their tune

They call me Katy Cruel

O diddle oh day, oh a diddle-oh aye-o day

Chorus:

O that I was what I would be

Then should I be what I am not

Here, I am where I must be

Where I would be I cannot

O diddle oh day, oh a diddle-oh aye-o day

Second verse (peel-off)

When first I came to town

They passed me the bottles plenty

Now they've changed their tune

They pass me the bottles empty

O diddle oh day, oh a diddle-oh aye-o day

Chorus

Third verse (hands-around)

I know who I love

And I know who does love me

I know where I'll go

And I know who'll go with me

O diddle oh day, oh a diddle-oh aye-o day

Chorus

Fourth verse (arming)

Through the woods I'll go

Through the boggy mire

Straight way down the road

Till I come to my heart's desire

O diddle oh day, oh a diddle-oh aye-o day

Chorus (ends on the last chorus)
