Avalon 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
