A.O.
She was just a poor back-country girl
The fifth of seven kids
Born in a log cabin
So it has been said;
Her daddy died when she was six
They were Quakers, every one
And she was the model for
"Annie Get Your Gun."
Annie Oakley was a good shot
Always without fail
At 12, she shot the head
Off of a running quail;
She married at just seventeen
Joined up with Buffalo Bill
Traveled with his Wild West show
To prey and shoot and kill.
Then, in nineteen hundred and 01
A train wreck occured
Annie had been paralyzed
The whole world sadly heard;
But "Little Sure Shot" was
Determined to survive
And she toured again with Bill
Just glad to be alive!
Note:
(We're lucky to have been entertained by "Phoebe Anne Oakley Mosee" while growing up in the 40's and 50's.)
