Death valley queen where have you been
|
Since they crowned you in glory
|
Filled your head with dreams
|
But it still goes to show in every desert
|
There's a rose that's blooming for all to be seen
|
I remember you well from that town
|
You did dwell with the face of an angel
|
In a dump hot as hell
|
When I asked for a kiss
|
You kindly dismissed
|
So i lead my poor heart to the slaughter
|
Tell me dear what did you fear
|
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin
|
So death valley queen go marry your king
|
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
|
|
Off I did set on my trail of regret
|
Where I thought of you now in your castle and crown
|
So I found me a whore with a face just like yours
|
After several gallons of porter
|
When I awoke, she had scarpered I was broke
|
Laying cold in the bed with a whale for a head
|
So death valley queen go marry your king
|
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
|
|
Then the ball dropped why everything fell by the way
|
As your teardrops were falling I forgot to say
|
That I have always loved you
|
Yeah I have always loved you
|
Yeah I
|
Yeah I
|
I have always loved you
|
|
When I returned downtrodden and burned
|
There were billy goats grazing
|
Where once you'd be found
|
So I hung out to dry
|
On this limb for a lie
|
Take me back for I'm cursed on the mainland
|
Tell me dear what did you fear
|
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin
|
So death valley queen go marry your king
|
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
|
I said death valley queen go marry your king
|
And a-roving I'll end up for certain
|
