Well now friends just lend an ear
|
For you're now about to hear
|
The ballad of Cat Ballou
|
It's a song that's newly made
|
And Professus and The Shade
|
And the Sunrise Kid are singin' it for you
|
|
Cat Ballou, Cat Ballou
|
|
It's a hangin' day in Wolf City, Wyomin'
|
Wolf City, Wyomin', eighteen ninety four
|
They're gonna drop Cat Ballou
|
Through the gallows floor
|
|
She killed a man in Wolf City, Wyomin'
|
Wolf City, Wyomin', killed a man it's true
|
And that is why they're a-hangin'
|
Hangin' Cat Ballou
|
|
She has the smile of an angel
|
(Fights like the Devil)
|
The eyes of an angel
|
(Bites like the Devil)
|
The face of an angel
|
(I say she's the Devil)
|
(She's mean and evil through and through)
|
|
Cat Ballou, Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou
|
She's mean and evil through and through
|
|
With her outlaw band they're now tellin' a story
|
Now tellin' a story how she rode the plain
|
The wildest gal in the We-est
|
Since Calamity Jane
|
|
And today's the day that she's goin' to glory
|
She's goin' to glory for the way she sinned
|
They'll be a-speedin' her soul
|
On a wayward wind
|
|
She has the smile of an angel
|
(Fights like the Devil)
|
The eyes of an angel
|
(Bites like the Devil)
|
The face of an angel
|
(I say she's the Devil)
|
(She's mean and evil through and through)
|
|
Cat Ballou (Cat Ballou)
|
Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou (Cat Ballou)
|
She's mean and evil through and through
|
|
Cat Ballou, Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou
|
She's mean and evil through and through
|
|
