Belle Starr, Belle Starr, tell me where you have goneSince old Oklahoma's sand hills you did roam?Is it heaven's wide streets that you're tying your reinsOr single footing somewhere below?Eight lovers they say combed your waving black hairEight men knew the feel of your dark velvet waistEight men heard the sounds of your tan leather skirtEight men heard the bark of the guns that you woreCole Younger was your first and the father of your girlAnd the name that you picked for your daughter was PearlCole robbed a bank and he drawed the life lineBut I heard he was pardoned after twenty years timeYour Cherokee lover, Blue Duck was his nameHe loved you in the sand hills before your great fameI heard he stopped a bullet in 1885And your Blue Duck's no longer aliveYou took Jim Reed to your warm wedding bedAnd from out of your love was born the boy, EdA pal killed Jim Reed by the dark of the moonAnd your son Ed was blowed down in a drunken saloonThen there was Bob Younger, you loved him so wellHe rode with the James Boys out on the long trailWell, they caught him in Minnesota along with the gangAnd he died down in jail in the cell or the chainYou loved Mr. William Clarke QuantrillAnd his Civil War guerrillas in the Missouri hillsHe hit Lawrence, Kansas and fought them stillAnd when he rode out, two hundred lay killedThey say you could have, they whispered you mightHave loved Frank James on a couple of nightsHe fought the Midland Railroad almost to deathThen in 1915 Frank drawed his last breathThey say it could be, they say maybe soThat you loved Jesse James, that desperadoJesse got married, had a wife and a sonWas shot down at home by the Ford brothers' gunsBelle Starr, Belle Starr, your time's getting lateBut how is Jim Younger, did you hear his fate?He was jailed and then pardoned for all he had doneAnd he blowed out his own brains in nineteen and oneEight men they say combed that waving black hairEight men knew the feel of your dark velvet waistEight men heard the sounds of your tan leather skirtEight men heard the bark of the guns that you woreBelle Starr, Belle Starr, tell me where you have goneSince old Oklahoma's sand hills you did roam?Is it heaven's wide streets that you're tying your reinsOr single footing somewhere below?
