Verse 1

G
With her old man she came from Tipperary
G
In the pioneering days of ’42
G
Her old man was shot in Tombstone City
G                                       D
For the making of his good old mountain dew

Chorus

G
Oh Come on down the mountain Katy Daley
G
Come on down the mountain Katy do
G
Can’t you hear us calling Katy Daley
G                                       D
We want to drink your good old mountain dew

Verse 2

G
Wake up and pay attention Katy Daley
G
For I’m the judge that’s gonna sentence you
G
All the boys in court have drunk your whiskey
G                                 D
To tell the truth I like a little too

(Chorus)

Verse 3

G
So to the jail they took poor Katy Daley
G
And pretty soon the gates were open wide
G
Angels came for poor old Katy Daley
G                               D
Took her far across the great divide
