Katy Lyrics - Shine Eyed Mister Zen - Kelly Joe Phelps

Katy's down by the cellar door 

calls for me to go 

back down to the clover 

singing soft and low 

singing soft and low 

my little one's mother is 

holding him and crying 

she hears Katy call my name 

and I can see her dying 

Katy says she loves me 

I used to feel the same 

walking by the old boneyard 

calling out my name 

hand in hand we laid the deed 

and evil we have done 

evil I will do no more 

to a mother and her son 

Katy Katy stay away from me 

I could never quit you, no 

you gotta let me be 

sharpened up my razor, picked a piece of ground 

one of these dark and moonless nights 

be the last around 

my lover turns to walk away 

and I follow close behind 

trouble in my pocket 

sorrow in my mind and 

hand in hand we laid the deed 

and evil we have done 

evil I will do no more 

to a mother and her son 

Katy Katy stay away from me 

I could never quit you, no 

you gotta let me be 

sharpened up my razor, picked a piece of ground 

one of these dark and moonless nights 

be the last around 

dark is finally coming on and 

silence in the woods 

would a man do over if the lord said that he could 

god it's too late now the night has come 

trouble them no more 

the cold steel blade across my neck 

suffering will be over 

Katy Katy stay away from me 

I could never quit you, no 

you gotta let me be 

sharpened up my razor, picked a piece of ground 

one of these dark and moonless nights 

will be the last around
