Lyrics

Sung by Bessy Cue:”...Let’s settle the score with a showdown in the street!” Okay, miss Calamity Jane You set out to find fortune and fame Too bad it’s such a shame You’re canary yeller with a dime-store name I was raised in the Badlands That’s how they got so bad All the snakes and the lizards and the coyotes there Would scatter when I got mad. Just ‘cause I clean up purty Don’t mean I can’t still shoot. I’m a ten-clawed cougar with lightning speed In jeans and cowgirl boots! Okay, miss Calamity Jane You set out to find fortune and fame Too bad it’s such a shame You’re canary yeller with a dime-store name Buffalo Bill I jilted Butch Cassidy called me “Ma’am” Wyatt Earp just wet his boots ‘n them Daltons, they all ran They say a woman’s place is in the home Well, I’m at home on the open range I kin ride ‘n shoot ‘n spit ‘n cuss And I reckon that won’t change Okay, miss Calamity Jane Badlands Bessy’s the real thang Too bad it’s such a shame You’re canary yeller with a dime-store name Boo-Hoo, miss Calamity Jane Badlands Bessy’s at the reins You should hang yer sissy head in shame You’re canary yeller with a dime-store name Yeah Badlands Bessy’s the real thang... ‘n you’re canary yeller with a dime-store name...
