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
