The Ballad of Kate Morgan
The coroner called her A natural beauty As in life so she was in death On the steps of the Del Coronado A bullet hole in her head Handsome suitors came to court her One by one they lost their hearts She said first win my brother's favor In a friendly game of cards Kate Morgan where's your husband Did he leave you in the sand Heartless gambler Choose your poison If it's love show your hand When they found out He was no brother It was a different town and A different name They worked the stage paths And the railroads Love & cards they played their game Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The road grew hard The stakes got smaller She begged him please To settle down They bought a house in California But he said Katie Just one more round
On the train she told her secret But a gambler wants no son She rode on to San Diego Bought some quinine & a gun No one came to claim her body The tide rushed in to where she fell He told her he would meet her Some say she's waiting still
If it's love show your hand Whose blood is on your hand
