A very lo-fi, but excellent, version by Cordelia's Dad is available on youtube

I know Katy Cruel but what's 'The Lea Boys Honey'?

Young Folk Song Book, Simon & Schuster, 1961, p 100ff, with guitar tab, as played by Peggy Seeger and arranged by Hally Wood (but note that the tab is actually written in Am, capo 3, evidently where Ms Seeger pitched it, and instructions to capo 7 for the piano key)

When [Em] I first came to [Bm] town
They [Em] called me the roving [D] jewel
[Em]Now they've changed their [Em7] tune
They [G]call me Katy Cruel

O [Em] diddle lolly ay
O [G] little [B7]lye o {Em] day [G B7]
[Em]Oh that I was what I [B] would be
[Em] Than for to be what I [B7] am not
[Em] Here am I where I must be
[G] Go where I would I cannot
[B7] O [Em] diddle lolly ay
O little [B] lye o [Em] day [B Em]

Can anyone toss these chords for me please? Katy Cruel is an Americanized version of The Lea Boys Honey (or a million other names I imagine). A verse and a chorus is all I need, lyric sites abound withy the song but I can't find the chords.

Thanks in advance

Don
