Death Valley Queen

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 cleanly dismissed
 So I led 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 awake, she had scalpered, 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
