The Silver Dagger - Old Crow Medicine Show

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
