Death Valley Queen

歌詞

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 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
