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
  
  It's a hangin' day in Wolf City, Wyomin'
  Wolf City, Wyomin', eighteen ninety four
  They're gonna drop Cat Ballou
  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 Ball-ou-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 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 she's the Devil)
  (She's mean and evil through and through)
  
  Cat Ballou (Cat Ballou)
  Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou (Cat Ballou)
  She's mean and evil through and through
  
  Cat Ballou, Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou
  She's mean and evil through and through
