Death valley queen

Death valley queen Lyrics

Death valley queen where have you been 
Since they crowned you in glory 
Filled your head with dreams 
But it still goes to show in every desert 
There's a rose that's blooming for all to be seen 
I remember you well from that town 
You did dwell with the face of an angel 
In a dump hot as hell 
When I asked for a kiss 
You kindly dismissed 
So i lead my poor heart to the slaughter 
Tell me dear what did you fear 
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin 
So death valley queen go marry your king 
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain 

Off I did set on my trail of regret 
Where I thought of you now in your castle and crown 
So I found me a whore with a face just like yours 
After several gallons of porter 
When I awoke, she had scarpered I was broke 
Laying cold in the bed with a whale for a head 
So death valley queen go marry your king 
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain 

Then the ball dropped why everything fell by the way 
As your teardrops were falling I forgot to say 
That I have always loved you 
Yeah I have always loved you 
Yeah I 
Yeah I 
I have always loved you 

When I returned downtrodden and burned 
There were billy goats grazing 
Where once you'd be found 
So I hung out to dry 
On this limb for a lie 
Take me back for I'm cursed on the mainland 
Tell me dear what did you fear 
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin 
So death valley queen go marry your king 
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain 
I said death valley queen go marry your king 
And a-roving I'll end up for certain
