When I first came to town 
They call me the roving jewel 
Now they've change their tune 
Call me Katie [bad word] 

Through the woods I'm going 
through the boggy mire 
Straight way down the road back home 
to my heart's desire 

If I was where I would be, 
Then I would be where I am not, 
Here I am where I must be 
Where I would be, I cannot. 

When I first came to town 
They brought me drinks of plenty 
Now they've changed their tune 
hand me the bottles empty 

If I was where I would be, 
Then I would be where I am not, 
Here I am where I must be 
Where I would be, I cannot.
