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
