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 Professor Sam 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 |
