A murder ballad. From the perspective of the victim. Real time.
lyrics
Come back to me my blue eyed Katie Bell
You didn’t mean to push me down this well
Help me out and I’ll tell the folks I fell
Come back to me my blue eyed Katie Bell
My love for you has always been so true.
But you knocked me down and clubbed me with your shoe.
Now I’m down here all wet and black and blue.
I can’t get out, there’s nothing I can do.
Solo
The sky is just a circle up above
Just like the ring I bought to show my love
You showed me yours by giving me a shove
And just like that I'm one you've disposed of
I should have known that you loved only him
the things down here are looking pretty grim
I'm losing strength and don't know how to swim
To you I guess I'm just one more victim
Solo
Come back to me my blue eyed Katie Bell
I hear you walkin' way and I can tell
I don't want this to be our last farewell
Come back to me my blue eyed Katie Bell
