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
