Oh Katie dear, go ask your Mother, if you might be a bride of mine...
If she says yes, then come and tell me if she says no we'll run away.

I cannot go and ask my M., for she lies on her bed of rest...
And in her hand is a silver dagger, to pierce the heart I love the best.

...Repeat for Father....

Then he picked up that silver dagger, he pierced it thru his milk white breast...
Saying Goodbye Katie, goodbye darling, I'll die for the one I love the best.

They she picked up the bloody weapon, she pierced it thru her own sweet breast
Saying Goodby Ma and goodbye Pa, I'll die for the one I love the best.

......Sorry, no happy ending!.....
