Katy Cline

Katy Cline

Chorus:
Tell me that you love me Katy Cline,
Tell me that your love is true as mine,
Tell me that you love your own turtle dove,
Tell me that you love me Katy Cline.

Oh who does not know Katy Cline?
She lives at the foot of the hill.
In a sly little nook by the cool shady brook
That runs by her dear old father’s mill. (Chorus)

Away from a little cabin home,
Away from a little cabin home,
There’s no one to weep and there’s no one to morn,
And there’s no one to love Katy Cline. (Chorus)

If I was a little bird,
I’d never build my next on the ground,
I’d build my nest in some tall oak tree,
Where the wild boys couldn’t tear it down. (Chorus)
