"Eleanor Dumont" lyrics

Eleanor was a beauty with great sex appeal
She spoke with an accent that wasn't quite real
She showed you no mercy when she dealt the cards
She sent you home broke with her fondest regards

A tip of the hat
A glass of champagne
She welcomed them all
As their pockets she drained
With talent and charm
And a great sleight of hand
And the only thing missing
Was her very own man

Then came the moment when her heart took flight
She fell head over heels for a young Jack McKnight
But troubles soon came like a great avalanche
He swindled her out of money and out of the ranch

A tip of the hat
A glass of champagne
She welcomed them all
As their pockets she drained
With talent and charm
And a great sleight of hand
And the only thing missing
Was her very own man

Then, shattered and broke, she would not face defeat
She would not let Jack win oh, so tidy and neat
She waited till dark in the heat of the night
And then with her six-gun she put everything right
[?] never found her or they never cared
About that old woman whose fortunes were bare

From town to town she then wandered as lost
The price of love had been too high a cost
She lived on her own terms and then died the same
She cashed in her chips with red wine and cocaine

A tip of the hat
A glass of champagne
She welcomed them all
As their pockets she drained
With talent and charm
And a great sleight of hand
And the only thing missing
Was her very own man

Eleanor took her own life and Jack's a dead man
This song marks story of Miss Dumont's last stand
