Verse I come up from the bottom run I been huntin and I had my gun Wind was still, things were quiet I called for Katie there was no reply Verse I checked the shed I checked the barn I opened the door and there she was In the arms of my friend Joe And she wasn't wearing many clothes Chorus Katie, Katie what I do? I was so in love with you Worked my fingers to the bone I never even wanted this old farm Verse Joe tried to talk he just coughed My heart stopped the gun went off Katie screamed out his name And then the gun went off again Chorus Katie, Katie what I do? I was so in love with you I Worked my fingers to the bone I never even wanted this old farm Verse I wrapped 'em up in gunny sacks I hitched a wagon threw 'em in the back I buried that Joe down by the creek I laid my Katie 'neath a hickory tree Chorus Katie, Katie what I do? I was so in love with you I Worked my fingers to the bone I never even wanted this old farm Break Verse Now there's houses up all around this farm Staring into new backyards And every day they come by But I won't sell and I won't say why Chorus Katie, Katie what I do? I was so in love with you I Worked my fingers to the bone I never even wanted this old farm I never even wanted this old farm I never even wanted this old farm Outro
