[Verse 1]
A# D# A#
Dora Hand was a singer in the New York operetta
F
Born into Boston old money, and Paristrained
A# D# A#
Dressed in black, she was a classic beauty but cursed with constitution sickly
F A#
She ventured West to breathe the fresh air on the Plains
D# A#
She ended up down in Dodge City, it was a cowtown, dry and ugly
F
She hid her past, took Fannie Keenan for a name
A# D# A#
Took the stage as a Vaudeville singer at the Lady Gay and the Alhambra
F A#
The cowboys loved her and she quickly rose to fame
[Chorus]
D# Cm
Sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
A# D#
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
Cm F
Doff your caps, boys, though saved or damned
A#
For Dora Hand
[Verse 2]
A# D# A#
Now to the Dodge folk she was an Angel, they called her Lady Bountiful By day, and "Queen Of Fairy Belles"
F
by night
A# D# A#
She was bringing in good money, so she gave plenty to the needy
F A#
She sure could sing, but she sure knew her wrong from right
D# A#
Now lovely Dora, she took the fancy of that mayor, James Dog Kelley
F
Like many a man before him, he was heard to say
A# D# A#
"That there Dora is a beautiful creature, she gives men a strange nostalgia
F A#
Dreams of finer things and better days"
[Chorus]
D# Cm
So sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
A# D#
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
Cm F
Dream a dream, boys, of a promised land
A#
Of Dora Hand
[Bridge]
Gm Dm
Now young Spike Kennedy came up from Texas on a rolling black thunder cloud
Cm Gm
He was a-whooping and a-whoring and a-drowning in whiskey like a one-man bad luck crowd
Gm Dm
One night he saw Dora singing at the Alhambra and he tried to slip the lady a kiss
Cm Gm
Dog Kelley got angry and he knocked him on his belly with one flick of his Kansas wrist
Cm Dm Gm F D#
Well now Spike, he got mad, he was looking out for blood, he was raging like the Devil's stepson
Cm Dm Gm F D#
He rode out to the cabin which the mayor used for napping on a horse with a loaded six-gun
Cm Dm Gm F D#
He fired in the dark, but he didn't hit his mark when the bullet went through that wall
Cm Dm Gm F Gm
Kelley wasn't in his bed, lying there in his stead, Dora Hand was killed
[Guitar Solo]
A# D# A# F A# F A# D# A# F D# A# F A#
[Verse 3]
A# D# A#
So the marshals, they raised a posse, and they caught up with young Spike Kenedy
F
His daddy bought him free, even though he confessed
Gm D# A#
All Dodge City wept for Dora, every bar closed as they buried her
F A#
Four hundred cowboys rode her to her rest
[Chorus]
D# Cm
Sing a song, boys, with the funeral band
A# D#
We won't see her like again in this hard and barren land
Cm F
Wave her off, boys, to no man's land
D#
Dora Hand
