Going down the shady dell Where the honey suckles grow I met lovely Katy Bell With her dimpled cheeks aglow Oh! the beauties of her face As she flitted by apace With a step of fairy grace My poor words can never tell Katy Bell lives in the dell How I love her none can tell All the flowers in the dell Seem'd to own her for their queen Bright and peerless Katy Bell Fairer flowr was never seen How I loved the very ground Over which she'd lightly bound With her sunny ringlets crown'd I can never never tell Long I waited in the dell Where the honeysuckles grow Waited for sweet Katy Bell Till the sun was sinking low And before I left her side In the quiet eventide I had won her for my bride Won my bonny Katy Bell
