Way up in the wild summer Alaska land
There was a gal that could whip any man
She was as tough as a diamond pointed drill
And the folks all called her Alaska Lil
Lil was born when the timber was thin
She told everybody she hated all men
She carried a rifle and a big Bowie knife
Swore she’d never be any man’s wife
Now the tales they told on Alaska Lil
Finally got around to Tеxas Bill
Texas Bill was second to none
A fightin’ shootin’ son of a gun
Hе said when they met he’d tame Miss Lil
Sure as his name was Texas Bill
When this was done he swore by his life
To marry this gal and make her his wife
This didn’t worry Alaska Lil
‘Cause she never head of Texas Bill
Said she still liked living alone
Never a man could call her his own
Then Bill showed up one cold winter day
Told all the folks he had something to say
If Lil is around he was here to call
Tell her lets settle this once and for all
When Lil got the word she was fit to be tied
Swore she’d tear off Texas Bill’s hide
Rode into town with blood in her eyes
And said to Tex it’s now do or die
I’ve heard some stories about this brawl
Some say the best of it was nothing at all
Still others say she fought the fight of her life
She still ended up as Texas Bill’s wife
Now Bill comes to town every once in awhile
With a grin on his face you can see for a mile
Says all that Lil wants for the rest of her life
Is just being happy as Texas Bill’s wife
