Old Crow Medicine Show - The Silver Dagger lyrics

Oh Katie dear go ask your mama If you can be a bride of mine If she says yes come back and tell me If she says no we'll run away Oh Willie dear there's no use in asking For she's in her room a taking rest And by her side lies a silver dagger To slay the one that I love best Oh Katie dear go ask your papa If you could be a bride of mine If he says yes come back and tell me If he says no we'll run away Oh Willie dear there's no use in asking For he's in his room a taking rest And by his side lies a silver dagger To slay the one that I love best Then he picked up that silver dagger And he stove it through her troubled heart Saying goodbye Katie goodbye darlin I'll die for the one that I love best Then she picked up that bloody dagger And she stove it through her lily white breast Saying goodbye mama goodbye papa I'll die for the one that I love best
