Well now friends just lend an ear For you're now about to hear, the ballad of Cat Ballou-ou 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-ou 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 Ballou-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 sou-oul, on the 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 Ballou-ou-ou (Cat Ballou-ou-ou) She's mean and evil through and through Cat Ballou, Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou She's mean and evil through and through
