Katy Cruel - Joe Dassin

When first I came to town,

They called me the roving jewel;

Now they’ve changed their tune,

They call me Katy Cruel,

Come-diddle-um-day,

Oh, little lioday.

Chorus

Oh, that I was where I would be,

There to be where I am not,

Here am I where I must be,

Go where I would, I can not,

Come-diddle-um-day,

Oh, little lioday.

When I was young and twenty,

They brought me the bottles plenty;

Now they’ve changed their tune,

They bring me the bottles empty,

Come-diddle-um-day,

Oh, little lioday.

Chorus

Well, down the road I’ll go,

And through the boggy mire,

Straightway down the road

And to my heart’s desire.

Come-diddle-um-day,

Oh, little lioday.

Chorus
