Thread Name: Lyr Add/Chords Req: Calamity Jane (C Williamson)
Subject: Lyr Req: Calamity Jane
posting this request again with it's own (her own) thread:
Looking for the test of the lyrics to this song about Jane Canary (sp?)

Does anyone have the rest of the words to this
Chris Williamson song Calamity Jane?
I think she wrote it for a high school musical.

From Billings to Boise, Helltooth to Cheyenne......

       chorus:
       Calamity jane, queen of the plains,
       An angel of mercy riding the range
       Deadwood's favorite daughter,
       White devil of the yellow stone,
       As brave as any woman that the west has ever known.

OH, I ain't got no family, no place to settle down
Just rollin' like a tumbleweed thru them dusty little towns
And the men and the whiskey, they keep me company
I'm raising the devil, footloose and fancy free...

there are a couple more verses....I hope someone has the album and can transcribe...it might be on the Changer and the Changed album and is on a later one called country blessed..
