Lyrics

I was born in wild wyoming
I always fancied roaming
Til I rode into old dodge city
Now I'll stay there til I die
I'm wanted in texas and tennessee
Dead or alive bad sadie lee
I take just what I want as I pass by

I can draw faster than a man can see
I can shoot better than annie oakley

Ain't no-one around who shoots better than me
And I'll show you just what I mean
Fired a shot at a buzzard on a limb
Killed him stone dead but it went through him
Shot a buffalo down in mexico
Shot a blasted jim crow
In a bar I never had been

I don't have to wait for sadie hawkins day
All I have to holler is the word okay
They know I'll shoot them if they run away
But there's one true love I've had
The man I loved was called daniel boone
We crooned beneath the watermelon moon in june
But he left me for a ginger-haired ornery raccoon
And that's what turned me bad
