Lyrics
Way out yonder in eastern Montana
Where the highway is long and the prairie is wide
I live on a homestead just south of Laurel
A shack in the back is where I reside
I lend a hand to a lady named Katy
250 a week w/ room and board
Katy’s a widow but she stays real busy
Driving round Billings in her Honda accord
Katy o' Katy she's sweet as an apple
She’s hot as a pistol and mean as a dog
That old lady, don’t ya give her no trouble
You’d be wise just to not to piss her off
Well she’s a big woman she has big o' broad shoulders
When she shakes your hand she's got a firm grip
She's so strong she can move boulders
With a hitch in her step and a lip full of dip
She keeps me busy in between boyfriends
She keeps me busy on the homestead too
I buck her hay and she bucks in the bedroom
She blows my mind till my face turn blue
Katy o' Katy she sweet as an apple
She’s hot as a pistol and mean as a dog
That old lady don’t ya give her no trouble
You’d be wise just a not to piss her off
Well one night Katie she come in a crying
With her knuckles all bloody and a look in her eye.
I heard her mutter as she went for her rifle
That son of a bitch well he's gonna die
So I said ‘hey Katie do me a favor’
Come over here and take a deep breath.’
She said ‘I left that old boy on the side of i90
gotta go back in case I didn't beat him to death.’
Katy o' Katy she sweet as an apple
She’s hot as a pistol and mean as a dog
That old lady don’t ya give her no trouble
You’d be wise just a not to piss her off
If I ever leave Katy they’ll be some trepidation
Do to the intimidation that she applies
You bet your ass I’ll avoid altercation
Let me tell ya brother I'm afraid to die
Katy o' Katy she sweet as an apple
She’s hot as a pistol and mean as a dog
That old lady don’t ya give her no trouble
You’d be wise just to not to piss her off
Katy o' Katy she sweet as an apple
She’s hot as a pistol and mean as a dog
That old lady don’t ya give her no trouble
You’d be wise just a not to piss her off
