whiskey peddlers, gamblers and women
dodge city 1872
you became the hooker of the hide-towns 
and god was on vacation
for a while buying a new pair of boots..
buffalo hides were shipped in by wagons
business was going steady then...
like the poker games at doc kelly's saloon
who will loose and who will win?
Dodge city hang your head in shame
for they calling you the hell on the plains...

and when the wind blowin' in from the west
the smell of rotten meat drifting in to Dodge town
left behind a thousand of death buffalo's
 and a million of squaws to cry...
whiskey peddlers, gamblers and women
dodge city 1872
you soon became the queen of the buffalo-towns 
and god was on vacation
for a while buying a new pair of boots..
Dodge city hang your head in shame
for they calling you the hell on the plains...
