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', 1894 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 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 West 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 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
