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

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

She hid her past, took Fannie Keenan for a name

Took the stage as a Vaudeville singer at the Lady Gay and the Alhambra
B E
The cowboys loved her and she quickly rose to fame
[Chorus]
A F#m
Sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand
E A
She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land
F#m B
Doff your caps, boys, though saved or damned
E
For Dora Hand
[Verse 2]
E A E
Now to the Dodge folk she was an Angel, they called her Lady Bountiful By day, and "Queen Of Fairy Belles"
B
by night
E A E
She was bringing in good money, so she gave plenty to the needy
B E
She sure could sing, but she sure knew her wrong from right
A E
Now lovely Dora, she took the fancy of that mayor, James Dog Kelley
B
Like many a man before him, he was heard to say
E A E
"That there Dora is a beautiful creature, she gives men a strange nostalgia
B E
Dreams of finer things and better days"
[Chorus]

So sing a song, boys, for Dora Hand

She brought a little beauty to this hard and barren land

Dream a dream, boys, of a promised land

Of Dora Hand

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

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