- Chorus
- Canst thou leave me thus, my Katie?
- Canst thou leave me thus, my Katie?
- Well thou know'st my aching heart,
- And canst thou leave me thus, for pity?
- Is this thy plighted, fond regard,
- Thus cruelly to part, my Katie?
- Is this thy faithful swain's reward-
- An aching, broken heart, my Katie!
- Chorus
- Farewell! and ne'er such sorrows tear
- That finkle heart of thine, my Katie!
- Thou maysn find those will love thee dear,
- But not a love like mine, my Katie,
- Chorus
