Cole Nat King Ballad Of Cat Ballou Lyrics

Ballad Of Cat Ballou Lyrics

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
