"They called her 'BlackJack Jezebel'
The Mistress of the Game
And every border town could tell
The story of her fame
A long, black coat with two quick guns
And endless luck with cards
Until one game destroyed her run
The blow, it hit her hard
She lost her cool that fateful night
And bet all on a bust
She'd put her faith in an oversight:
A man she could not trust
He took her heart and took her crown
Her reputation lost
She vowed that night to hunt him down
No matter what the cost
She booked her passage on a ship
To search throughout the skies
Her anger spurred her on that trip
To kill him for his lies
The Dame de Fer saw every town
From Maine to Frisco Bay
But still she could not hunt him down
Elusive was her prey
Until one night in Saskatoon
She found him in a bar
And when he saw her brown eyes flare
He knew he'd not get far
She bought him down with at single shot
She brought him to the floor
He knew right then that he'd been caught
She'd settled up the score
"Well, my girl," he wheezed at last
"I've led this merry chase
But I didn't think we'd end so fast
And in this frozen place
"Miss Jezebel, I loved you then
And swear I love you still
Just take me in your arms again;
I swear I always will"
She held her tongue and watched him die;
He bled out on the floor
The man she'd chased 'cross every sky
Was suddenly no more
"I curse the day I saw your face
Or every heard your name!
I curse the land, the sky, this place
As witness to my shame!"
That was the last they ever heard
Of Black Jack Jezebel
They couldn't care where she'd gone to:
To heaven or to hell
But windy nights with chilly air
Bring voices on the breeze
And gambling men most everywhere
Might fall down to their knees
And pray a devil does not come
To play with them at cards
For BlackJack Jezie's brand of fun
Will put them all on guard.
If she wins, or so they tell
She'll only take your purse
But if you beat that dark-eyed girl
Your life's forever cursed"
Moral of the story: Don't date a scoundrel, or don't break up with a vindictive woman who can hunt you down.

Moral of the story: A Gallop cannot carry an entire song alone.
i viewed this song at least 50-100 times...
Absolutely love this
This makes me want to tap-dance, and I don't even tap-dance. :D
The Dolls of New Albion are pretty good. But Steam Powered Giraffe is terrific!
Clockwork Quartet are amazing and so are The Cog is Dead ^^
Ahhh, the rage of a woman! Beware lads, they're so dangerous than a rattlesnake!
You can eat rattlesnake...
Don't forget Dr. Steel and the Vernian Process.
Abney Pak,The Cog is Dead,The Clockwork Quartet,The Romanovs or even Emilie Autumn (She is considered as victorian industrial and steampunk)
