Chorus:
Don't cry, katie. i'll be comin' back to you, you, you. don't
Cry, katie, even though i'm gone, my love will still be true.

I'll be gone for maybe just a year. don't cry, katie. even
Though i'm gone, my love will still be here. don't cry, katie.

(chorus)

You'll be in my dreams though you are far away. don't cry,
Katie. have a little faith and i'll return some day. don't cry,
Katie.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, katie. don't cry, katie, i'll
Be comin' back to you.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, katie. even though i'm gone, my
Love will still be true.

(chorus)

When i return, darling, we can be together. don't cry, katie.
Then we can share our precious love forever. don't cry, katie.
