Ballad Of Miss Kate Lyrics

Ballad Of Miss Kate lyrics

You gave me your word, then you took your word back

Where once I had faith
now all I see is black

Black seeing black

I gave you up rather than
giving in

Where once there was virtue, it's fallen to sin

Black
seeing black



You gave me your word

Then you flew like a
bird

Never looking back

You can run, you can try

But you
won't get away this time



You played me for a fool, in your heart
you had deceit

I made you up inside my mind, when finally you I meet

You had turned black turning black

I never could have seen how you'd
shoot that 44

You hit me right below the shoulder, I fell to the
floor

I'm on my back, on my back



You shot me with your
gun

Then you run, run, run, run

Never looking back

You can
run into the street

My tire tracks you will soon meet

And if you
run into the woods

I'll chop you down just like a tree



I
rolled into town from years spent in my sleep

The word that the people
held was that your price is cheap

Your price is cheap, price is cheap

The house with the red light on and fancy decor

You built your new life
hastily so now I find you poor

I find you poor, find you poor



The sheriff found you out

There is guaranteed no doubt

You ain't
coming back

We watched you catch a railroad car

That didn't get you
very far

And when you finally met your match

We watched you kiss the
railroad tracks



Black seeing black
