Alaska Lil and Texas Bill
Recorded by Hawkshaw Hawkins
Written by Jimmy Lowe and Art Wolpert

G D7 G
Way up in the wild summerless Alaska land
D7 G
There was a gal that could whip any man
C G D7
She was as tough as a diamond pointed drill
G D7 G
And the folks all called her Alaska Lil
D7 G
(folks all called her Alaska Lil)

D7 G
Lil was born when the timber was thin
D7 G
She told everybody she hated all men
C G
She carried a rifle and a big Bowie knife
D7 G
She swore she'd never be any man’s wife
D7 G
(swore she'd never be anyone’s wife)

C G
Now the tales they told on Alaska Lil
C G
Finally got around to Texas Bill
C G
Texas Bill was second to none
D7 G
A fightin' shootin' son of a gun

D7 G
He said when they met he'd tame Miss Lil
D7 G
Sure as his name was Texas Bill
C G
When this was done he swore by his life
D7 G
To marry this gal and make her his wife
D7 G
(marry this gal and make her his wife)

C G
Now this didn't worry Alaska Lil
C G
Cause she never head of Texas Bill
C G
Said she still liked living alone
D7 G
Never a man could call her his own

D7 G
Then Bill showed up one cold winter day
D7 G
Told all the folks he had something to say
C G
If Lil is around he was here to call
D7 G
Tell her lets settle this once and for all
D7 G
(Tell her lets settle this once and for all)

C G
When Lil got the word she was fit to be tied
C G
Swore she'd tear off Texas Bill's hide
C G
She rode into town with blood in her eyes
D7 G
And said to Texas it's now do or die

D7 G
I've heard some stories about this brawl
D7 G
Some say the best of it was nothing at all
C G
Still others say she fought the fight of her life
D7 G
She still ended up as Texas Bill's wife
D7 G
(She still ended up as Texas Bill's wife)

C G
Now Bill comes to town every once in awhile
C G
With a grin on his face you can see for a mile
C G
Says all that Lil wants for the rest of her life
D7 G
Is just being happy as Texas Bill's wife
D7 G
(just being happy as Texas Bill's wife)
