And I’d give two shillings directly, Katee Darling,
If I were only by your side.
Oh, a great big coat I’m wearing,
And I scarce can heave a sigh,
But I’ll never leave off drinking, Katee Darling,
Every day that I can get it till I die.
Then hear me, sweet Katee,
The policeman now has got me, Katee Darling,
And no one knows when I’ll again be free;
In the lonely Tombs come and greet me, Katee Darling,
