Verse
It was the spring of ‘87
When she rode into to Durango
She was a young and lovely lady
Hoping to find her missing love

Verse
She was married to a banker
Who one day never Who one day never came back home
Someone told her they saw him in Durango
It broke her heart that he’d ever roam

Verse
She packed her case and took a carriage to the station
Her broken heart just couldn’t stay at home
She rode the rail South from Denver to Durango
On faith as solid as a stone

Chorus
She’s the legendary Queen of Durango
She was loved by everyone in town
Legend has it that she’s never left Durango
She still waits for her love to come home

Verse
She opened up a saloon on the corner
She spent her nights behind the bar
She hoped one night her love would come to find her
She prayed to God he wasn’t far

Verse
They say her smile was as warm as country sunshine
Her deep blue eyes like windows to her soul
She was gentle and kind and had a heart of gold
But her loneliness really took its toll

Chorus
She’s the legendary Queen of Durango
She was loved by everyone in town
Legend has it that she’s never left Durango
She still waits for her love to come home

Verse
Now if you ever find yourself in Durango
Stop by the Diamond Bell Saloon
The bar is haunted by the Queen of Durango
You can still smell her sweet perfume

Chorus
She’s the legendary Queen of Durango
She’s remembered by everyone in town
Legend has it that she’s never left Durango
She still waits for her love to come home
Legend has it that she’s never left Durango
She still waits for her love to come home
