Madame De Lil And Diabolical Bill
Текст пісні
Madame DeLille was a lady of wealth
She didn't run a saloon for her health
She was independent, claimed to be self-made
She didn't feel she had to pull down her shades
She said, "I don't have to apologize
Devil take your preachin' and damn your eyes!"
Oh, she didn't mind if you criticized
She had the last word with her .45
She said, "Ain't nobody gonna railroad me
Don't try and tell a lady she ain't free"
Yeah, Madame DeLille, as the ladies all will
Went and fell in love with Diabolical Bill
She temporarily lost her head
Sidetracked by that dude who was takin' her bread
She said, "I don't have to apologize
I love my Billy, so damn your eyes!"
Oh, she didn't mind if you told her lies
If the lies were the appropriate kind
She said, "Ain't nobody gonna railroad me
Don't try and tell me Billy don't love me"
Madame DeLille, she was doin' alright
'Til one of her ladies of the night
Told her that Bill had his hand in the till
She was romantically, financially goin' downhill
"I don't have to apologize
He's diabolical, so damn his eyes!
I've got a plan to fix that man
I'll have the last word with this .45
Ain't nobody gonna railroad me
Don't try and tell a lady she ain't free"
Oh, Madame DeLille loved Diabolical Bill
She wanted to scare a man she couldn't quite kill
So one night he was sleepin' and he closed his eyes
Miss DeLille put blanks in his big .45
The next day when a big Swede insulted his pride
He shot him down and said, "Damn your eyes!"
He stole a horse and he left that town
He didn't know he never shot that man down
And nobody railroad Madame DeLille
The joke was on Diabolical Bill
Come on, children, gather 'round
Did I ever tell you about the time I shot that big Swede down?
It was in a saloon back in 1889
I guess that was way back for your time
