I've managed to find a bit more of it but I think there is still a bit more out there.


BALLAD OF CAT BALLOU
Words by Mack David and Music by Jerry Livingston

1
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

2
It's a hangin' day in Wolf City, Wyomin'
Wolf City, Wyomin', eighteen ninety four
They're gonna drop Cat Ballou
(Right) Through the gallows floor

3
(Well) 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'
(They're) Hangin' Cat Ballou

4
With her outlaw band they're now tellin' a story
Now tellin' a story how she rode the plain
The wildest gal in the West
Since Calamity Jane

Chorus.
She has the smile of an angel
(She) Fights like the Devil
The eyes of an angel
(She fights like the Devil) or (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

5
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

6
Then there came to town
A gun deadly and frightening
A gun quicker than lightning
The fastest gun you've seen
It was the gun in the hand of
Steely Kid Sheleen.

7
Just one look at him
And folks starting to shake
Wild, wild as a snake
Proud and fierce and mean
There was no man who was tougher
As tough as Kid Sheleen.

Chorus.
He had the eyes of a killer
As cold as the devil
The look of a killer
The look of the devil
The face of a killer
That man was the devil
Just wild and ornery and mean

Kid Sheleen, Kid Sheleen.
The fastest gun you've ever seen

8
Then she road away
Just to where now was a mystery
But Cat roamed into history
Lent (?) her legend rule
She was the queen of the outlaws
Her highness Cat Balou

Chorus.
She has the smile of an angel
(She) Fights like the Devil
The eyes of an angel
(She fights like the Devil) or (Bites like the Devil)
The face of an angel
I say she's the Devil
(She's mean and evil through and through)

9
Cat Balou, Cat Balou
And now the story is all through
Cat Balou, Cat Balou
Say farewell to Cat Balou

Cat Ballou
Cat Ball-ou-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
