Trad. ballad. Planning to record a cerebral electric version for the upcoming album: consider this a teaser.
lyrics
when I first came to town
they called me roving jewel
now they change their tune
call me Katie Cruel
through the woods I go
through the bogs and mire
straightway down the road
to my heart's desire
when I first came to town
they gave me drinks aplenty
now they change their tune
bring me bottles empty
through the woods I go
through the bogs and mire
straightway down the road
to my heart's desire
through the woods I go
through the bogs and mire
straightway down the road
to my heart's desire
if I was where I'd be
then I'd be where I'm not
here I am where I must be
go where I would
I cannot
when I first came to town
they called me roving jewel
now they change their tune
call me Katie Cruel
Katie Cruel...
