Flogging Molly

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 kindly dismissed

So i lead 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 awoke, 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
