Lyrics
Should have been prepared
For this wicked end
In this lawless country
Where devils pose as men
They took your life
For a corral full of dust
Then hung you up
Like a cotton blossom
They had their way with me
But I could not feel a thing
I went back to that night with you
Back to our shivaree
Shivaree Shivaree
That’s where my mind takes me
Shivaree Shivaree
Back to that night of revelry
Once was somebody’s wife
Now I’m a girl on the line
They can have my body
But you’ll always have my mind
Shivaree Shivaree Shivaree
