I remember you well from that town you did dwell
There's a rose that's blooming for all to be seen
Laying cold in the bed with a whale for a head
Tell me dear what did you fear?
That I have always loved you
Where I thought of you now in your castle and crown
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin
As your teardrops were falling I forgot to say
So I found me a whore with a face just like yours
So Death Valley Queen go marry your king
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
With the face of an angel in a dump hot as hell
There were billy goats grazing
Then the ball dropped why everything fell by the way
Take me back for I'm cursed on the mainland
When I asked for a kiss you kindly dismissed
Tell me dear what did you fear
Filled your head with dreams
Yeah I, yeah I, I have always loved you
When I returned downtrodden and burned
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
So Death Valley Queen go marry your king
I said, "Death Valley Queen go marry your king
After several gallons of porter
So Death Valley Queen go marry your king
Off I did set on my trail of regret
So I lead my poor heart to the slaughter
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
Where once you'd be found
So I hung out to dry on this limb for a lie
When I awoke, she had scampered I was broke
But it still goes to show in every desert
Yeah, I have always loved you
