Miss Derringer
Miss Derringer is an American, Los Angeles based pop/underground rock band, fronted by singer Elizabeth McGrath and her husband/songwriter Morgan Slade. Rounding out the band's lineup are Sylvain de Muizon (bass), Cody James (drums) and Ben Shields (lead guitar). Miss Derringer, although it sounds like a singer or a single person, is a complete band.
Miss Derringer is influenced by American music of the late 1950s and early 1960s - particularly the vintage sounds of outlaw country and early 1960s girl group pop.
The band's lyrics deal with "honkytonk" subjects like prison, poverty, sobriety, God, death, marriage, murder, and alcohol.
Miss Derringer has opened up for several notable acts including Bad Religion, Blondie, John Doe, IAMX and Tiger Army.
Miss Derringer has released two albums with Sympathy for the Record Industry. The first, King James, Crown Royal, and a Colt 45, was released in 2004.
Their second album, Lullabies, includes guest musicians such as drummer Clem Burke from Blondie and was co-produced by Derek O'Brien of Social Distortion and The Adolescents.

Lullabies
by: Miss DerringerI never told you I would stand by your side
I never told you that honey you can't say that I lied
And I never told you I would always be true
Still you can't say I broke a promise to you
And they took him alive
And they took him alone
In the dead of night
With God by his side
He hung on a sunday
It was a kiss on a lie in the night
It was a wish on the prayers for the dyin'
And I know there's no road for this right
Still I hope somehow it would be different this time
And they took him alive
And they took him alone
In the dead of night
With God by his side
He hung on a sunday
He hung on a sunday
He hung on a sunday
He hung on a sunday
He hung on a sunday
In the dead of night
With God by his side
He hung on a sunday
And I never told you I would stand by your side
