She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
Now my baby caught the Katy
Left me a mule to ride
The train pulled out
I swung on behind
Crazy 'bout her
That hard headed woman of mine
I'd never quite understood that song, until I ran across this:
Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad Company—more commonly known as the Katy.
I'd no idea that it was a real thing, much less the nickname of a railroad route.
