The Ballad of Lanky Rae

A long time ago On a dark-as-night day A little girl came entered this world In a right wicked way When she took her first breath The doctor heard her say "All you out there better beware My name is Lanky Rae" "Stay away," said Lanky Rae She didn't like baby dolls Barrettes or ballet She thought a gun was much more fun When she went out out to play By the time she was 10 Hair already ash grey She shot a man down, stole a car and left town Yeah that's what they say What they say about Lanky Rae Stay away from Lanky Rae By the time she was grown She'd grown into her name 7 feet tall and not graceful at all But she could hit a mark from 3 miles away But Rae was all alone And to her dismay She never had met her dad So she hit the highway She heard he was a demon Deep down in the clay So down she dove to the center she drove And there stood the daddy of Lanky Rae He held two 45s And his hair was ash grey Spittin' whiskey and fire and as soon as he saw her Those two you could not separate Now they roam the underworld Raisin' hell everyday Doin' what they do best and forget all the rest So when the ground rumbles Don't you be afraid It's just a couple of outcasts happy at last Yeah it's Lanky Rae
