Porter Wagoner - Katy Did lyrics

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

[ steel ]

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
