Well now friends just lend an ear
For youre now about to hear
The ballad of cat ballou
Its a song thats newly made
And professus and the shade
And the sunrise kid are singin it for you
Cat ballou, cat ballou
Its a hangin day in wolf city, wyomin
Wolf city, wyomin, eighteen ninety four
Theyre gonna drop cat ballou
Through the gallows floor
She killed a man in wolf city, wyomin
Wolf city, wyomin, killed a man its true
And that is why theyre 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 shes the devil)
(shes mean and evil through and through)
Cat ballou, cat ball-ou-ou-ou
Shes mean and evil through and through
With her outlaw band theyre now tellin a story
Now tellin a story how she rode the plain
The wildest gal in the we-est
Since calamity jane
And todays the day that shes goin to glory
Shes goin to glory for the way she sinned
Theyll 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 shes the devil)
(shes mean and evil through and through)
Cat ballou (cat ballou)
Cat ball-ou-ou-ou (cat ballou)
Shes mean and evil through and through
Cat ballou, cat ball-ou-ou-ou
Shes mean and evil through and through

Devil Woman
Ive had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew itwas a spell she cast
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you from behind
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadnt planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked into those big green eyes
And I wondered what Id come there for
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you from behind
If youre out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighbourhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
Youd better get out of there fast
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you...

Devil In Disguise
(gram parsons/chris hillman)
Shes a devil in disguise -- you can see it in her eyes
Shes tellin dirty lies -- shes a devil in disguise -- in disguise
Now a woman like that, all she does is hate you
She doesnt know what makes a man a man
Shell talk about the time that shes been with you
Shell speak your name to everyone she can
Shes a devil in disguise -- you can see it in her eyes
Shes tellin dirty lies -- shes a devil in disguise -- in disguise
Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is full of jealousy and doubt
It gets her off to see a person crying
Shes just the kind that you can do without
Shes a devil in disguise -- you can see it in her eyes
Shes tellin dirty lies -- shes a devil in disguise -- in disguise
Her number always turns up in your pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
Its alright to call her but Ill bet you
The moon is full and youre just wasting time
Shes a devil in disguise -- you can see it in her eyes
Shes tellin dirty lies -- shes a devil in disguise -- in disguise
In disguise [in disguise] in disguise [in disguise]

Shuffle to some cowboy hustle
How she makes those trophy buckles shine, shine, shine
Wild-eyed and mexican silvered
Trickin dumb ol cousin willard

Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you

Aint a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you

High timin barroom fixture kind of a girl

Shes Too Tough
Black stockings and a high-heeled dress.
Good-looking but her face is a mess.
Shes no angel... oh no!
Love loaded, shes got plenty to spare.
Shell pull your trigger if only you dare.
Shes no angel... oh no!
Shes too tough.
Cant help it, she just cant help it.
Shes too tough.
Cant help it, she just cant help it.
Hands off, well, its catch 22.
You cant touch if she cant have you.
Shes no angel... oh no!
Whiplash! give you six of the best.
Lay back let her mind do the rest.
Shes no angel... oh no!
Shes too tough!

Shell Leave You With A Smile
I can see youre falling for her
Friend you know she once was mine
So I guess I oughta warn you
Cause youre showing all the signs

Shes a devil
Shes an angel
Shes a woman
Shes a child
Shes a heartache when she leaves you
But shell leave you with a smile
When she held me it was heaven
It was worth the losing pain
And when shes gone shell leave you wishin
Shed just roll your way again

Shes Knocking At My Door
Music :rudolf schenker
Lyrics:klaus meine
Shes knocking at my door
That little angel knows the score
Shes knocking at my door
But I wont let her out no more
I want a piece of that pie
Shes driving me completely wild
Shes giving me a private dance
Shes playing with my confidence
The way shes coming down the stairs
Makes me surrender just right there
This girl is out of this world
Heaven must be a place on earth
Shes knocking at my door
That little angel knows the score
Shes knocking at my door
But I wont let her out no more
Shes like a shot of adrenaline
She made me fly with broken wings
With nothing but the radio on
Her body is the song I want
Shes knocking at my door
That little angel knows the score
Shes knocking at my door
But I wont let her out no more
The light is on but no ones home tonight
We lock the door, we turn the key
And throw it right outside
Come on and set me free
If you had candy once before
For you keep coming back for more
Shes got the sweetest touch of all
The longest legs that I recall
Before she leaves she turns around
The elevator takes her down
She says oh well the city rocks
I go to sleep but then it knocks
Shes knocking at my door
That little angel knows the score
Shes knocking at my door
But I wont let her out no more

Let Her Fly
Theres a wreath on the door
She dont live here no more
As of today, she flew home
And we all gathered here
In sorrow and tears
It wont be the same with her gone
Theres a place on the hill
Thats peaceful and still
Where shell sleep beside daddy again
The ole family tree is shedding its leaves
But well all met in heaven again
Chorus:
Oh, shes an angel
Let her fly, let her fly
Shes gone home to glory
To her home in the sky
When God sees her comin
Heavens choir will smile
And sing, oh shes an angel, let her fly, let her fly
Ooh, shes an angel, let her fly
She used to rock me when I was a child
Sing rock of ages and in the sweet bye and bye
Her life wasnt easy, oh but how hard she tried
You know shes an angel, lord, so let her fly
Repeat chorus

Let her fly
Ooh shes an angel, let her fly

Devil & Daughter
Silence is mocking the dawn of a new day
Devil and daughter are both on their way
The evil of her nature collects in her eyes
With him theres no fear of the dawn bringing light
Baptised with fire, too wild to be tamed
Shes hot, evil and ready to take any man
Let no one put assunder the power of the pain
He is the master of hell riding again
Devil and daughter - pleasure and pain
Devil and daughter - is this the end
A thousand times over, youll hear on the wind
In the name of hell, these sinners never sinned
But satan never listens to the words that they send
Drenching the soul with blood, when will it end
Devil and daughter
Hes got the power, shes got the pain
Devil and daughter
Shell break any woman and take any man
Devil and daughter
Hand in hand with the reaper

Now Shes Gone
Written by gerry beckley, 1977
Found on harbor.
Please believe in me
Though my love is hard to see
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Ill remain (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But these tears (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I cant contain (shes gone, shes gone)
So can I count on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to count on you
Smile away these blues
I dont care if Im accused
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I dont mind (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But, I got a feelin (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Its all designed (shes gone, shes gone)
To make me call on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to call on you

When Shes Gone
She has a light and a faith that wont die.
She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive.
She has a pretty young daughter back home
Wholl soon start to cry when shes gone.
When shes gone. when shes gone. when shes gone.
Now she spends her days with a mission to live.
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive.
And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when shes gone.
When shes gone. shes gone. when shes gone.
She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps.
(smiles when she sleeps)
And dreams of the days when well all finally meet.
She often says that she lives in a world well never know.
We hope we never know.
We sit together and talk about our faith.
We play a game where well sing all our troubles away.
Though shes glad to be with me,
She knows darm well that her next life awaits when shes gone.
Oh, when shes gone.
When shes gone.
When shes gone, shes gone. shes gone.
Shes gone away. shes gone away.
Shes gone. shes gone. when shes gone.
Oh, no. (when shes gone)
Oh, shes gone.
I know shes gone. (when shes gone)

99 Pounds
I tell ya shes a heart breaker
And you cant tell me she aint
Theres a little devil in her
Under all that powder and paint
And she can hang you up every night
And get you so uptight
Shes 99 pounds, I said 99 pounds,
Shes 99 pounds of some kind of dynomite
I tell you half a ton of sugar aint half as sweet as her
She can change and rearrange you
Till you cant tell what you were
And it dont even pay to fight
cause she dont know wrong from right
Shes 99 pounds, I said 99 pounds,
Shes 99 pounds of some kind of dynomite
And she may look like an angel
But shes made out of tnt
Shes a little bitty thing and she ? ? ? ?
Yeah but when she holds you tight
Shes some kind of outa sight
Shes 99 pounds, I said 99 pounds,

Shes A Runaway
Written by russ ballard, 1983
Found on your move, the very best of america, and highway.
Yesterday she stood here with me
I kissed her mouth, I had her in my hands
That kind of love, it could last forever
And together we made our plans
And then I woke up today
There on the table her letter lay
Tellin me shes goin away
Runaway, boy have you seen a
Girl like an angel runnin in the night
Shes run away, boy if you see her
Im beggin you to stop her on sight
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
Shes a runaway, a runaway
And why shed leave I still cant believe
That she would run away, run away
Run away, run away
Shes a runaway
I walked the streets through the heart of the city
Go to the places where she might be
I see her friends they say its a pity
I get the same thing from everyone that I see
Ill keep searchin if its gotta be
And when I find her Ill make her see
No other man could love her like me
Runaway, boy have you seen a
Girl like an angel runnin in the night
Shes run away, boy if you see her
Im beggin you to stop her on sight
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
Shes a runaway, a runaway
And why shed leave I still cant believe
That she would run away, run away
Run away, run away
Shes a runaway
Run away, run away
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
Shes a runaway, a runaway
And why shed leave I still cant believe
That she would run away, run away
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
Shes a runaway, a runaway
And why shed leave I still cant believe
That she would run away, run away ...

Broken Down Angel
She used to be someone you could depend on
To brighten up your coldest winter day
But the one she leaned upon
Let her down, noow has moved on
And morning brings another empty day
Now shes only a broken down angel
Shes only a bird thats broke her wing
Shes only someone, somone whos gone wrong
Shes only a child thats lost her way
She used to be a girl of simple pleasures
A breath of spring to chase your blues away
But now she bears a cross, for a love that she has lost
No sunshine in her life just clouds of gray
Now shes only a broken down angel
Shes only a bird thats broke her wing
Shes only someone, somone whos gone wrong
Shes only a child thats lost her way
Shes only a broken down angel
Shes only a bird thats broke her wing
Shes only someone, somone whos gone wrong
Shes only a child thats lost her way
Now shes only a broken down angel
Shes only a bird thats broke her wing
Shes only someone, somone whos gone wrong
Shes only a child thats lost her way

Shes Gone
Everybodys high on consolation
Everybodys trying to tell me whats right for me
My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon
But its plain to see that they cant comfort me
Sorry charlie for the imposition
I think Ive got it, got the strength to carry on
I need a drink and a quick decision
Now its up to me, ooh what will be
Chorus:
Shes gone oh i, oh id
Better learn how to face it
Shes gone oh i, oh id
Pay the devil to replace her
Shes gone - what went wrong
Up in the morning look in the mirror
Im worn as her tooth brush hanging in the stand
My face aint looking any younger
Now I can see loves taken her toll on me
Shes gone
Think Ill spend eternity in the city
Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away
And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories
But they can never be what she was to me
Shes gone

She could dance and slow you 'bout, shuffle to some cowboy hustle.
How she made those trophy buckles shine, shine, shine.
Wild-eyed in Mexican silver, tricking dumb old cousin Willard
into thinking that he got her this time.
Hill country, honky-tonkin' Rita Ballou, every beer joint in town has played a fool for you.
Back sliding, barrel riding Rita Ballou, ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you.
She's a rawhide roping velvet mixture, walking, talking Texas texture,
high-timing, barroom fixture kind of a girl.
She's a queen of the cowboys, look at old Willard grinning now, boys,
you'd have thought there's less fools in this world.
Hill country, honky-tonkin' Rita Ballou, every beer joint in town has played a fool for you.
Back sliding, barrel riding Rita Ballou, ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you.
Good luck Willard, and here's to ya, and here's to Rita, I hope she'll do ya right all night.
But I wish I was a fool in your shoes.
Hill country, honky-tonkin' Rita Ballou, every beer joint in town has played a fool for you.

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But i got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are

You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But i got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
I thought that i was in heaven
But i was sure surprised
Heaven help me, i didn't see
The devil in your eyes
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But i got wise

Fallen Angel
I hear those voices on the radio
I switched it off because she told me so
Shes an investigator, shes like an elevator
Nobody told me wed be all alone, you know
Somewhere my friend had left me in that twilight zone, you know
She said, Ive seen your deepest secrets now
Theyre just as lightning in the look of your eyes
I said, I want you baby, isaid, I want some more
I said, I never ever felt it like that moment before
Shes an assassin, shes melting steel in my heart
And I beg for more
She said, I want your body, she said, I want your soul
She said, a fallen angel takes it and shell never let go
Shes an invader, shes from another world
And I beg for more and more
Shes raising feelings cutting like a knife
Shes pouring fire into my liquid life
Theres no escaping from her mysteries
She gives me kisses of the strangest kind, she says
I know youll like it, so come over here, she says
And let that rhythm filter through your body, dear
And then she...
She always did it and she always will
Shell stay that hunter till the end of time
I said, I want you baby, isaid, I want some more
I said, I never ever felt it like that moment before
Shes an assassin, shes melting steel in my heart
And I beg for more
She said, I want your body, she said, I want your soul
She said, a fallen angel takes it and shell never let go
Shes an invader, shes from another world
And I beg for more and more..

You better watch youre step.
Shes going to break your heart in two, its true.
Its not hard to realise
Just look into those false coloured eyes,
Shell build to up just to put you down, what a clown,
Coz everybody knows...
(shes a femme fatale)
Things she does to please (shes a femme fatale)
Shes just a little tease (shes a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks
Youre written in her book,
Youre number 37, take a look
Shes going to smile to make you frown, what a clown.
Little boy shes from the street
Before you start youre already beat
Shes going to play you for a fool, yes its true,
Coz everybody kowns...

Commin from. shes all lips and eyes and legs, and then
Its great, but you know what, shes going to mess you up pal..)
