[Intro]

[Verse 1]
My Mustang Judy, well she was a beauty
With lips painted red, Stetson proud on her head
And every young buck, from Amarillo to Pluck
Had a ring in his pocket, and a future planned out

They'd find her at the bar, maybe betting on some cards
They would each try their best, but no one could've guessed
She'd heave a great sigh, then look 'em straight in the eye 
And say "I've got criminals to pin, that's what I'm all about"

[Chorus]
My Mustang Judy
Lord, she drove them cowboys mad
They would try to give her ribbons
She'd drag a train robber back
My Mustang Judy
Didn't want no wedding band
Yeah she'd rather rope a rustler
Than be lassoed by any man

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
And all the men watched, as notch by notch
Judy chased the posters, she'd keep tucked up by her holster
The guys were so impressed, that they'd wait at her front steps
But Judy was not inter-ested in their admiration

So she stuck to her mission, 'cuz there was no competition
Since every last dude was preparing, a letter or a feat of daring
But as she was bringing back Bernice, a prih-tee infa-muss horse thief
Judy admitted she was offered an inter-esting proposition

[Chorus]
My Mustang Judy
Lord, she drove them cowboys mad
They would try to bring her sweets
She'd bring another bandit back
My Mustang Judy
Fastest draw in all the West
She'd rather dance with desperados
Than be fenced in by a wedding dress

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Lips pale without their famous red, a little dally and lots of honeyed cornbread
Judy claimed that they were sisters, between the bars Bernice would whisper
But the sheriff didn't mind, because the cornbread was divine
So he never paid no heed to what they were whispering about

One night the men saw Judy home, and slurred a woman's just not safe alone
When polite knocks failed they began to yell, pounding the door and window wells
When a sour scream from the local bloat, who was huddled in Judy's hat and coat
Cried Jumpin' Jehosaphat, yall are cracked! I'm dipping out!

[Chorus]
My Mustang Judy
Lord, she drove them cowboys mad
They would try to break her door down
But she had slipped right out the back
My Mustang Judy
Undergarments billowed in the breeze
By the time the sun had risen
She'd be in Fort Worth with Bernice

[Instrumental solo]

[Verse 4]
Bernice had opened Judy's eyes, her lawman life had been a lie
She didn't care what crimes been done, Judy just wanted to be one
So her and Bernice talked it through, until they knew just what to do
Later a groggy sheriff said the cornbread had tasted awful sweet

While the men were busy at the bar, Bernice and Judy got a really good head start
Judy jingled keys unlocked each cage, set the outlaws with the plan's first stage
As Bernice grabbed those who were able, they headed over to the stables
Now Judy's on a wanted poster that's hanging in the street

[Chorus]
My Mustang Judy
Lord, she drove them cowboys mad
With her new gang they robbed the bank
And are never coming back
My Mustang Judy
They took every horse in town
Her and Bernice are runnin' wild
No one will ever tame them now!!

[Instrumental]
