[Verse 1] They rode in from the badlands, dust on their boots like graves Zora with her six-gun smile, Dezzy's blade'n through the haze Lyra lit the powder trails, left lawmen burnin' behind Sisters of the noose and thunder, no mercy in their kind Harleys moans low like a hangman's prayer Banshees cries through the desert air [Chorus] The Gallows callin', the Gallows callin' Three queens of the outlaw trail Ropes swingin' slow in the mornin' glow They laugh as the reaper wails Badass and broken, hearts forged in smoke They'd rather die dancin' than live in chains The Gallows... The Gallows... Take these wild souls home again [Verse 2] They robbed the banks of sinners, left silver for the poor Burned the crosses of the fearless, settled every score They kissed the devil's mouth, They danced on graves Carved their names in fire where the righteous fear to gaze Clouds weep a funeral reel beneath the blackened sky The wind howls like coyotes watchin' 'em die [Chorus] The Gallows callin', the Gallows callin' Three queens of the outlaw trail Ropes swingin' slow in the mornin' glow They laugh as the reaper wails Badass and broken, hearts forged in smoke They'd rather die dancin' than live in chains The Gallows... The Gallows... [Bridge] They said no man could hold 'em No law could bend their will Now the preacher's readin' last rites But they still got lead in their pistols... [Breakdown] Hangman, pull that lever slow... Let 'em feel the drop... One last ride... [Final Chorus] The Gallows claim 'em, the Gallows claim 'em But their legend won't ever pale Three devils in petticoats, ridin' through hell's own gale They spit on the hangman's hand And kissed the wind goodbye Outlaw forever... Under that big black sky... [Outro] The rope creaks... The wind moans... Three shadows... swingin' free...
