Come on Queenie Lyrics

In the days the wild west cried
back in 1865
there came quite an unusual day
she was blond and she was tall
made the fellers give their all to her
she started quite a stir
all the little ladies in the town
didn't want that kind of girl around
but oh the fellas loved her so

Come on Queenie, don't be meanie
we all came to see you dance
we've been waiting, speculating
do we stand a chance

Then one day there came to town
traveling preacher Reverend Brown
and oh, the ladies loved him so
saw the bar and looked within
saw the shameless show of sin, oh my
the dust began to fly
he began to yell and holler so
screaming about the fiery place below
the name made Queenie run in shame

Come on Queenie, don't be meanie
we all came to see you dance
we've been waiting, speculating
do we stand a chance

Come on Queenie, don't be meanie
we all came to see you dance
we've been waiting, speculating
do we stand a chance

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
