You've heard of Billy the Kid Of the Dalton Brothers too And many other outlaws They were wicked through and through
But the wickedest of them all by far According to my Uncle Claude Was a famous female outlaw Known as Mississippi Maude
She grew up on the River Boats From the tender age of six And learned to be a card sharp And boy she knew some tricks
But one day on the river A Dude called her a cheat And Maude she used a pistol And blew him off his seat
She fled the riverboat straight away The Law in hot pursuit And took off to the Bad-Lands With her ill-gained loot
But as the cash soon went away She took to robbing banks More polite a robber was never seen Always saying "Thanks"
After many years of crime She put her guns away And moved on to a city Gone straight for a month and a day
She got a job in a major bank Became Chief Accountant Maude But yes you've already guessed it She was finally done for Fraud
And so in Jail she lingered Until that fateful day Mississippi Maude lay right down And then she passed away.
