Katie Cruel - Bert Jansch

When I first came to town

They called me the roving jewel

Now they’ve changed their tune

Call me Katie Cruel

Through the woods I’m going

And through the boggy mire

Straight way down the road

'Til I come to my heart’s desire

If I was where I would be

Then I’d be where I am not

Here I am where I must be

Where I would be, I can not

When I first came to town

They bought me drinks plenty

Now they’ve changed their tune

And hand me the bottle empty

If I was where I would be

Then I’d be where I am not

Here I am where I must be

Where I would be, I can not
