The cowboys loved her and she quickly rose to fame
[Chorus]

She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
Gm C
Doff your caps, boys, though saved or damned

For Dora Hand
[Verse 2]

Now to the Dodge folk she was an Angel, they called her Lady Bountiful By day, and "Queen Of Fairy Belles"
C
by night
F A# F
She was bringing in good money, so she gave plenty to the needy
C F
She sure could sing, but she sure knew her wrong from right
A# F
Now lovely Dora, she took the fancy of that mayor, James Dog Kelley

Like many a man before him, he was heard to say
F A# F
"That there Dora is a beautiful creature, she gives men a strange nostalgia
C F
Dreams of finer things and better days"
[Chorus]

Dream a dream, boys, of a promised land

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

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