[Verse 1] Now Weird Beard left a man face-down Dust still hanging on the street, horse piss baking in the heat The developers came asking Wanted that killer brought in neat So they sent for the C.A. Alex Blue With a warrant in her hand She rode straight into trouble Knowing just what she'd demand [Chorus] There's a rider on the prairie With a badge beneath her coat And a town full of Fallen Angels Who'd just as soon cut her throat Let the church bells ring at sundown Let the devils run free Ain't a soul who welcomes justice Down in Goldfire City! [Verse 2] She rode in beneath the noon sun With the heat upon her back Tied her horse outside the tavern Checked the pistols at her slack Ordered whiskey for the journey Heard the gamblers talk and boast Every Angel at the table Knew the name she wanted most Somebody laughed into his glass Somebody whispered, "He's around" Blue just smiled and drank her whiskey Then she headed into town [Chorus] There's a rider on the prairie With a badge beneath her coat And a town full of Fallen Angels Who'd just as soon cut her throat Let the church bells ring at sundown Let the devils run free Ain't a soul who welcomes justice Down in Goldfire City! [Verse 3] Weird Beard was waiting outside With his fingers near his gun Blue could see the whole thing coming Neither planned to turn or run Two hands dropped toward their leather Two shots rang out that afternoon Beard was fast, but Blue was faster And his luck ran out too soon [Banjo solo] Now the dust has settled slowly And the street has lost its sound Alex Blue stood tall and steady While the outlaw hit the ground [Bridge] No damn jury and no damn preacher No ladys cryin to set him free Just a badge, a smoking pistol And the law of Goldfire city She'd come to take a killer But the town would disagree You can bury one outlaw There's a hundred more, youll see! [Final Chorus] There's a rider on the prairie With a badge beneath her coat And a town full of desperados Who'd just as soon cut her throat Let the church bells ring at sundown Let the devils run free Nobody comes to play the law Down in Goldfire City! [Outro] Goldfire City! Where the outlaws drink for free! Goldfire City! Where the law ain't welcome, see! Yeah, Goldfire City!
