lyrics

Paul met the Calico Queen
in the devil's addition, now she's in the kitchen boilin' up some tea.
His heart was ambushed by her long black hair.
now he's barkin at the knot, like it or not, don't got a care.
There's been stranger loves..
Paul wears the California collar
3 weeks of runnin, lovin'
that girl turned out to be the sheriff's daughter.
She's in the bad box now
pistol tight grip, she aim's that whip
Paul falls to the ground
Swift on their instincts
the two lovers stole a horse
then set on the course...
Hightail to a place that's too hot to think
There's been stranger loves...There's been
Western sun
he built the house real tough with sticks & mud
Now she's hitchin' up the giddy up
for 9 more months
Gather up for winter
He's afraid for it to happen everybody's rattlin'
he'll be good with the nipper
On that morning's dew
the floor was all wet, she was clenching a stick
between her teeth & Paul just knew
that in a moment
his son was born with long black hair
even though they'd never met he always knew him...
There's been stranger loves.
There's been strange love.
