She’s raising cattle, she’s raising bars

She gets up at five every morning

Always brings a smile to that pretty face
[Chorus]

She’s gonna put you six feet under

That girl will surely put you down
[Verse 2]
F# Fb
In the village, into the church
D#m G#7
Calls a priest and from her curse
F# C# F#
Hands him the money, walks away redeemed

They close their doors, they close the blinds

As she makes her way to Clementine’s
F# C# F# F#7
We’re the only place that serves her here
