The Bullwhip Ballad

Intro

Hah

He-yah

Mmm-hmm

Verse 1

Alta California sunset

Leather fringe moves across the hot white sand

Ninety-four Anita was born

Bullwhip clicking in a tiny hand

Don McGregor traced her start

She watches Roman die in the street

The Captain took a brothers heart

Revenge is cold but the wine is sweet

Pre-Chorus

Lace for a lady

Mask for the girl

Black boots dancing

Spinning the world

Chorus

Hey Lady Rawhide rides

Whip crack heart attack justice on the bad side

Hating the fox then loving the man

Kiss and a blade and a plan

Topps Comics never lied

Hey Lady Rawhide rides

Post-Chorus

Crack crack

Lady rides

Lace and pride

Lady rides

Verse 2

Don Rafael is a coward

He beats a wife with a heavy palm

Anita jumps the mission wall

Searching for a jagged kind of calm

The Russian waits in the shadows

The night-stalker wants to spill her blood

No thank-yous for the heroine

Just heavy rain and the canyon mud

Pre-Chorus

Lace for a lady

Mask for the girl

Black boots dancing

Spinning the world

Chorus

Hey Lady Rawhide rides

Whip crack heart attack justice on the bad side

Hating the fox then loving the man

Kiss and a blade and a plan

Topps Comics never lied

Hey Lady Rawhide rides

Post-Chorus

Crack crack

Lady rides

Lace and pride

Lady rides

Bridge

Scarlet Fever hijacks the ship

Deep slashes on a chest so bare

Vampires kiss the poison out

Skeletons grin and the villagers stare

Roman gone to the salt water

Echo of the whip in the night air

She found her cause

She kept her mask

Chorus

Hey Lady Rawhide rides

Whip crack heart attack justice on the bad side

Hating the fox then loving the man

Kiss and a blade and a plan

Topps Comics never lied

Hey Lady Rawhide rides

Post-Chorus

Crack crack

Lady rides

Lace and pride

Lady rides
