Dora Hand was a singer in the New York operetta

Born into Boston old money, and Paristrained

Dressed in black, she was a classic beauty but cursed with constitution sickly
A D
She ventured West to breathe the fresh air on the Plains

She ended up down in Dodge City, it was a cowtown, dry and ugly
A
She hid her past, took Fannie Keenan for a name
D G D
Took the stage as a Vaudeville singer at the Lady Gay and the Alhambra
A D
The cowboys loved her and she quickly rose to fame
[Chorus]
G Em
Sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
D G
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land

Doff your caps, boys, though saved or damned
D
For Dora Hand
[Verse 2]
D G D
Now to the Dodge folk she was an Angel, they called her Lady Bountiful By day, and "Queen Of Fairy Belles"
A
by night
D G D
She was bringing in good money, so she gave plenty to the needy
A D
She sure could sing, but she sure knew her wrong from right
G D
Now lovely Dora, she took the fancy of that mayor, James Dog Kelley
A
Like many a man before him, he was heard to say
D G D
"That there Dora is a beautiful creature, she gives men a strange nostalgia
A D
Dreams of finer things and better days"
[Chorus]
G Em
So sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
D G
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
Em A
Dream a dream, boys, of a promised land

Of Dora Hand
[Bridge]
Bm F#m
Now young Spike Kennedy came up from Texas on a rolling black thunder cloud
Em Bm
He was a-whooping and a-whoring and a-drowning in whiskey like a one-man bad luck crowd
Bm F#m
One night he saw Dora singing at the Alhambra and he tried to slip the lady a kiss
Em Bm
Dog Kelley got angry and he knocked him on his belly with one flick of his Kansas wrist
Em F#m Bm A G
Well now Spike, he got mad, he was looking out for blood, he was raging like the Devil's stepson
Em F#m Bm A G
He rode out to the cabin which the mayor used for napping on a horse with a loaded six-gun
Em F#m Bm A G
He fired in the dark, but he didn't hit his mark when the bullet went through that wall
Em F#m Bm A Bm
Kelley wasn't in his bed, lying there in his stead, Dora Hand was killed
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
D G D
So the marshals, they raised a posse, and they caught up with young Spike Kenedy
A
His daddy bought him free, even though he confessed
Bm G D
All Dodge City wept for Dora, every bar closed as they buried her
A D
Four hundred cowboys rode her to her rest
[Chorus]
G Em
Sing a song, boys, with the funeral band
D G
We won't see her like again in this hard and barren land
Em A
Wave her off, boys, to no man's land
G
Dora Hand
