Robert Hunter - Wild Bill lyrics

In a torrid little cabin 'neath Aurora Boreeay

Wild Bill waxed his whiskers, dabbed perfume behind each ear

From a flask of Spanish lotion that he'd had for many years

Kept it for occasions when he went to see his dear

When he went down to see that little girl

Slipped off a ring of silver, slipped on a ring of gold

With a twenty-carat diamond that was carved into a rose

An ivory-stemmed revolver was reflected in his boots

That glittered like the cuff studs setting off his lovin' suit

When he went down to see that little girl

Threw a handful of ash on the fire

Made his way out through the snow

To the finest cuisine south of Canada

The finest north of Mexico

The lady who was his intension

With the look fit to fetch or to kill

Had tattooed 'neath the lace on her bosom

'Wild Bill Loves Diamond Lil'

She was not just the girl of his dreams
Robert Hunter - Wild Bill - http://motolyrics.com/robert-hunter/wild-bill-lyrics.html
He was not only fond of her charms

She could knock down a man at ninety paces

While he rolled her around in his arms

Shot a hole through the hand of Michael Miller

As he crept up behind Wild Bill

She said, "Now share a little of the life I've saved you

Where you know you can relax and not get killed"

Jacob nailed the ladder to the floor

Now we can't move the ladder 'round no more

Sunday is the day I go to church and pray the Lord

Take me when I die to golden shores

Monday is the day I go to work and pay our bills

Saturday I go and spend what's left at Diamond Lil's

Yeah, that's the day I go to Diamond Lil's

In a torrid little cabin 'neath Aurora Boreeay

Wild Bill waxed his whiskers dabbed perfume behind each ear

From a flask of Spanish lotion that he'd had for many years

Kept it for occasions when he went to see his dear

When he went down to see Diamond Lil
