[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

[Verse 1]
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]
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

[Verse 2]
You'll be in my dreams though you are far away
Don't cry, Katie
Have a little faith, and I'll return someday
Don't cry, Katie

[Alternate Chorus]
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]
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

[Verse 3]
When I return, darling, we can be together
Don't cry, Katie
Then we can share our precious love forever
Don't cry, Katie

[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

[Alternate Chorus]
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]
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
