Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies

Let's Shake Some Dust

(Instrumental)

Lady Pearl in jail, Lady Pearl in jail

You'll rise

Lady Pearl in jail, Lady Pearl in jail

You'll fight

 

A letter from her mother now dying in her bed

get on home quickly with the medicine

no money in her pocket no wheels to get ahead

she grabbed her colt 44 and

 

Went along the mountain side

mama love I'm on my way don't you cry

I'll make it just in time

mama love I'm on my way don't you cry

please hold on

 

The young Lady Pearl was dressed

in a man's jeans and a shirt

a stage coach was stopped

and robbed were three passengers

gave each of them a dollar 

enough for them to eat

then she disappeared down south and

 

Went along the mountain side

mama love I'm on my way don't you cry

I'll make it just in time

mama love I'm on my way don't you cry

 

Lady Pearl in jail, Lady Pearl in jail

You'll rise

Lady Pearl in jail, Lady Pearl in jail

You'll fight (x2)

 

 

Pearl Hart

 

The Nameless One

 

Dead But Rising

 

Dear wind of Mississippi can you call him by name

I have followed his wings on a sunny day

 

I like to believe he's the chosen one

I like to believe he's the fallen one

Dead but rising

 

I raise the fist with power and fate

and wishing that his claws will grab on to my hand

 

I like to believe he's the chosen one

I like to believe he's the fallen one

Dead but rising

 

The eagle: 

I have been to the end of waters

I have been to the end of earth

I've been over mountains and riding the storms

Dear son your words have reached me

and for that I can carry on

I'll guide you in spirit

today I'll be home

 

I like to believe he's the fallen one

I like to believe he's the chosen one

the rebirth of man heals a bleeding heart 

the eagle of kings wears my father's soul

Dead but rising

 

Cape Of Our Hero

 

All of the perfection nothing will and can be made

the old skin has to shed before the new one sees the day

opportunities to find the deeper powers in ourselves 

comes when life is breathing and seems more than what it is

 

Go blindly completely

 

You tell me how I can fly away

and believe that all the angels are coming

you bring me down then I will fly again

and believe that all the angels are coming

 

The kingdom of the fathers and the heroes where are you

I'm talking to you every night more than I should do 

what awaits and when will be the day

when I can wear the cape

I'm lying on the ground as always staring into the air

 

Go blindly completely

 

You tell me how I can fly away ...

 

The stars are long gone but we can still see their glow

long after they've skidded off into oblivion

 

You tell me how I can fly away... 

 

you tell me how I can fly away 

and believe that all the angels are coming

you bring me down then I will fly again

and believe that all the angels are coming

 

Room 24 ft. King Diamond

 

Caught in the darkness

the room is getting colder my body is on hold

lying in bed and unable to move

 

The darkness in 24

former guests who live no more

so many hands to hold you down

 

My mind is awake

I open my eyes but it's so hard to breathe

something is in here to silence my screams

 

The darkness in 24

steals your breath away once more

oh it's happening again yeah

 

See the old hag sitting over me

the smell of rotten breath and blasphemy

no way out only darkness here

feel my eyes filling up with fear

will someone hear me crying out for help in room 24

in room 24... in room 24

 

Caught in the darkness

the room is getting colder my body is on hold

lying in bed and unable to move

 

Sadness is a falling tear

turning into liquid fear

who killed who we'll never know

oh we'll never know

never tell...never tell...never tell...never tell...

 

See the old hag sitting over me

the smell of rotten breath and blasphemy

no way out only darkness here

feel my eyes filling up with fear

will someone hear me crying out for help in room 24

in room 24... in room 24

 

The Hangman's Body Count

Hear his boots and see the figure dressed in black
Echos of him have been heard
Spiritually he's all intact
Guided by the raven since his eyes don't see

Hear him drag the rope that goes up to the hangman's tree


The wind calls your name
Get out of your bed
Go up to the hills, the raven will lead

Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here

You smell the rain and as you walk the final dirt
Pictures of the crime are past but not forgotten in this world
See the valley turn to darkness on your way
The only friend you have is standing at the gallows end

The wind calls your name
Get out of your bed
Go up to the hills, the raven will lead

Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here

Put on the rope
You knew the day was coming
Say your prayers once more
You're part of the hangman's body count

Hear his boots and see the figure dressed in black....

The wind calls your name...

Judgement will prevail, the hangman is here

Put on the rope
You knew the day was coming
Say your prayers once more

You're part of the hangman's body count


 

 

My Body

Stop! the train is ridin' down to the station

where you lived when we were school kids

Hey! the rails are caught now

and i am falling down fools in a spiral

round this town of steam

 

My body tells me no but I won't quit

'cause I want more 'cause I want more

 

My body tells me no but I won't quit

'cause I want more 'cause I want more

 

Stop! the train is riding down to the station where I lived

when I was a cool kid

Hey! is it my fault that the fallen embers

burn down in a spiral

round your crown of thieves

 

My body tells me no but I won't quit...(x2)

And it rides out of town

 

Oh, it's my road it's my road it's my road

I'ts my road it's my road it's my road

 

And it's my war it's my war it's my war

his eyes are open, his eyes are open

 

Oh 'cause I want more, I want more, I want more

his eyes are open his eyes are open

 

(hey, hey, hey)

 

My body tells me no but I won't quit...(x2)

And it rides out of town

 

Lola Montez

Fell the fire where she walks

Lola Montez so beautiful

shady and a tempered dame

blinding your eyes with her spider dance

 

Her performance utterly erotic subversive to all ideas

and for public morality

and cool as she was she didn't care

see the miner throw his gold

lifting her skirt howling loud like a wolf

hell raising and full of sin

when Lola was dancing and showing her skin

 

Wherever she walks

she will be captivating all the men

don't look in her eyes

you might fall and find the love of your life heavenly

but she'll catch you in her web

the love of your life

 

Fell the fire where she walks...

 

Well notorious I have been

but never for fame that's what she said

dear Henry taste my whip

never to see any words you print

 

Wherever she walks...

 

Oh Lola I'm sure that the love would have been

the key to all your pain

no words will late come

did the spider bite your tongue

we will surely not forget the Lola spider dance

 

don't look in her eyes

you might fall and find the love of your life heavenly

but she'll catch you in her web

the love of your life

Wake up baby and taste the dirt

we're six feet under and still in love

the day has come

we belong with the living dead of the night

 

Hear the outlaw ghoul and his cane

crashing our casket to find his way

the day has come

we belong with the living dead of the night

 

Hold on to me baby

his bony hands will do you no harm

it said in the cards we lost our soul to the nameless one

 

The Outlaw Ghoul:

Wake up my darlings your time is up

follow my riders into the dark

the day has come

       we belong with the living dead of the night

 

Hold on to me baby.....(x2)

 

The outlaw ghoul:

long time ago

you called upon the tombstones

gambling with your soul for nothing

and now you're walking though the valley of death

But see how beautiful you are

skinny blue and grey in love you'll walk among the outlaw bandits

until you meet the nameless one

 

Hold on to me baby.....(x2)

The day has finally come

 

A man appeared before Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo's stage driver man

wearing a long white linen

and a dust flour sack over his head

 

Pointed a double barreled shotgun

at the driver and forced him to halt

please throw down your box sir

and madame please I don't need your money or pearls

 

They call him Black Bart PO8

the highway bandit poetry man

leaving his poem disappeared

like a ghost on his own all on his own

the road he owns

 

Rise Black Bart rise I'm calling

calling your spirit out

dust off your hat and your hatchet

there are boxes out there with your name and mark

 

The road has been cold and lonely

the road has been out of good tales

let's shake up some dust

we'll be opening the box like before just like before

and leave a poem

 

(Black Bart 1877):

For honor and for riches

I've labored long and hard for the bread

but on my corns too long you tread

you fine haired sons of bitches

Black Bart
