(words & music by Harlan Collins)

 

What'll it be, said the man at the bar

I said a couple of drinks just to drive my car

Because I don't have to go that far

And it's all downhill from here

 

Just a couple of drinks to raise in toast

to my darling Katy's ghost

Because she was the woman I love the most

And I ache to have her near

 

Oh Katy, Oh Katy

Where have you gone?

Oh Katy, Oh Katy

What have you done?

 

Tonight it's been exactly a year

Since I lost my Katy dear

On a stretch of canyon a mile from here

When she looked the other way

 

She went down in fire and flames

It was just one of those things

But her memory's driving me insane

And it drove me here today

 

Oh Katy, Oh Katy

Where have you gone?

Oh Katy, Oh Katy

What have you done?

 

If I can just get to the top of the hill

I'll close my eyes and I'll steel my will

It only takes a turn of the wheel

to be with Katy

 

Oh Katy, Oh Katy

Where have you gone?

Oh Katy, Oh Katy

What have you done?
