Katy Did Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

Two sisters lived alone out in the country 

Their names were Katy and her sister Liz 

They farmed to raise the food that graced their table 

Liz never went to town but Katy did 

Katy went to town each Saturday morning 

To sell the eggs and buy for her and Liz 

Their only needs just some salt and sugar 

They grew the rest her and sister Liz 

Liz never went to town like Katy did 

Liz never knew a man but Katy did 

For I saw them one evening 

When they thought they were hid 

And you should've seen 

The things that him and Katy did 

I walked by Liz and Katy's house each evening 

Through the woods on my way home from school 

Then one evening Katy smiled and spoke so softly 

As I stood there blushing like a fool 

Then she asked me if I'd like to have some cookies 

That she baked for her and sister Liz 

Then as Katy took me in their kitchen 

I never closed the door but Katy did 

She took my hand and my heart beat so wildly 

I sound like coffee a perking with no lid 

And I shook so bad I've even dropped my cookies 

I didn't know of love but Katy did 

Liz never knew a man but 

Katy did she said it's lonely here with sister Liz 

But I just kept on eatin' cookies I was just a dumb kid 

I wish I'd known of love back then like Katy did 

Oh I wish I'd known of love back then like Katy did
