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
