[Verse 1]
[C]Oh,
Katie, [F]go ask your mama
[C]If you can be a b[F]ride in my e[G]yes
If she says [F]yes, come back and [C]tell me
If she says [G]no, we'll run [C]away
Oh, Willie, [F]ain't no use in ask[C]ing
She's in her room, [F]her taking [G]rest
And by her [F]side lies a silver dag[C]ger
To slay the [G]one That I love
[C]best[F][C][F][G][F][C][G][C]
Oh, Katie [F]dear, then go ask your [C]papa
If you can be [F]a bride of m[G]ine
If he says [F]yes, come back and [C]tell me
If he says no, [G]then we'll run [C]away
Oh, Willie dear,
[F]there ain't no use in ask[C]ing
He's in his room [F]taking [G]rest
And by [F]his side lies a silver dag[C]ger
To kill the one [G]that I love

So he picked [F]up that silver dag[C]ger
He stole it through [F]his
troubled young [G]heart
Sayin' [F]goodbye, Katie,
goodbye, [C]darlin'
I'll die for the one [G]that I love [C]best
Then [F]she picked up that

lily -white [G]breast
Sayin' goodbye, [F]mama, goodbye, [C]papa
I'll die for the one [G]that I love [C]best [F]you
