SHE WAS THE QUICK AND THE DEAD
shes was the quick and the dead
and she could have lived but she chose death instead
she didn't run but when it came to the law she fled
a kind of woman in the beginning
who you'd think she belonged to the east
after butting heads she heads out west instead
shes was the quick and the dead
the kind of lady you'll never forget
she was the meanest woman who ever lived
she chews her chew and spits her spit
and the kind of taker,and thats the way she is
shes was the quick and the dead
killed a man when she was still a kid
she liked the ladies just like the men
and she broke their hearts
til she came back around again
she looked washed up and down and dirty
and thats a lot for a gunslinger who'll never hit 30
they came from all around to see her dead lying on the ground
just like all the others first your quick then your dead
ask billy the kid who shot her in the head
now billy the kid is the quick and the dead
till the lawman shot him down
gunmen never live long and they realize the life they live is wrong
