Katy, My Katy.

This all came from waking up this morning with the first line running through my head.

It will be a duet, which is a first !

Katy , My Katy.

(Chorus 1)
Katy, my Katy, I'm missin' you so.
Armagh Gaol's walls are stiflin' cold.
Katy, my Katy, I don't want to go.
But Armagh Gaol's walls are made of thick stone

(Chorus 2)
John, my dear John, I have to let you go.
A future without you is all that I'll know
John, my dear John, I have to say "No".
The past is a closed book. They told me so.

(Voice 1)
They're hangin' Sean Savage for shootin John Bligh.
The Land Agent's people have the cops on their side
The beak wouldn't listen when I said it was I.
Sean was the leader, so Sean has to die.

Chorus 1

(Voice 2)
I'm forbidden to visit, I'm locked in my room
They say the Master will send for me soon
You're leaving for Botany Bay this forenoon
They say your friend Sean is doomed.

Chorus 2

(Voice 1)
Don't listen to Crawford, the man damned my eyes.
And the way that he watched you, that wasn't right
He'll play you along, for him you're the prize
As long as I'm gone, please don't heed his lies.

Chorus 1

(Voice 2)
We pleaded to save you, but no-one would move
Till Crawford said he would, but he needed proof
That Sean shot John Bligh, Sean, and not you
And that I forget you forever, and marry him soon

Chorus 2

(Voice 1)
When I can return, you and I,  we will wed
Kiss in the evening when the sky turns bright red
Sleep through the night with nothing to dread
Wake in the morning with kids round the bed

Chorus 1

(Voice 2)
Lord Crawford's carriage waits in the road
He's smiling at me while my bags are all stowed,
Don't fret, John, or worry. Just let me go.
Your life's been spared, and you'll never know.

Chorus 2

Chorus 1
