katie cruel

Agnes Obel

When I first came to town
They called me roving jewel
Now they've changed their tune
Call me Katie Cruel

Through the woods I'm goin'
Through the bogs and mire
Straightway down the road
To my heart's desire

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

Through the woods I'm goin'
Through the bogs and mire
Straightway down the road
To my heart's desire

Through the woods I'm goin'
Through the bogs and mire
Straightway down the road

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