CATTLE KATE Out here on the prairie lone A cowboy rides the darkened range The cattle lo, a coyote howls Moonlight falls upon a visage strange. Hung for rustlin', maiden fair Her ghostly realm, nearby her grave For innocence was hers that day She kept the field they wanted of hay. Moneyed men, took law in their hands Took her her new moccasins on that day Handed on to their own generations Laughing about a'having their way. High plains' shame, the story goes Just a woman on the prairie lone Cattle Kate, her land, and stock Thought she had the right to own. Out here on the prairie lone A cowboy rides the darkened range The cattle lo, a coyote howls Moonlight falls upon a visage strange. Based on a book which was written and published about five years ago which tells the real story behind the hanging of Cattle Kate, the non-Hollywood version! My daughter knew a boy in school whose family had her mocassins, his granddad was one of the "moneyed men"; she had just traded for them that day. kat Cattle Kate: Mystery of a Lynching
