Death Valley Queen Lyrics - Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly

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 bloomin' 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 fallin' I forgot to say 

That I have always loved you 

Yeah, I have always loved you 

Yeah, 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 

And a rovin I'll end up for certain
