Nat King Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »

Well now friends just lend an ear
For you're now about to hear, the ballad of Cat Ballou-ou
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-ou
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 Ballou-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 sou-oul, on the 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 Ballou-ou-ou (Cat Ballou-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
