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.
