I come up from the bottom rung

I been hunting and I had my gun

Wind was still, things were quiet

I called for Katie there was no reply



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



Katie, Katie

What'd I do?

I was so in love with you

Worked my fingers to the bone

I never even wanted this old farm



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



Katie, Katie

What'd I do?

I was so in love with you

Worked my fingers to the bone

I never even wanted this old farm
