Lincoln Durham - Annie Departee lyrics

rate me

This here's a song about a girl who can't seem to quit killing men

Annie lay your six-guns down

Lest you find you're six foot underground

Put on your rouge, powder your nose

Hide your bow-legs under knee-high hoes

You done shot a man, girl

One, two, three, put him out of misery

Four, five, six, just to please them wicked kicks

You been burning powder

You better burn the breeze

Forever legend as Annie Departee

Annie lay your six-guns down

You've been spreading lead all over town

Better take your black hat and paint it white

‘Fore a buscadero puts you in his sights

You done shot a man

One, two, three, put him out of misery

Four, five, six, just to please them wicked kicks

You been burning powder

You better burn the breeze

Forever legend as Annie Departee

Let me tell you a little story about Annie now

You see, Annie was known for her nasty reputation

Born with a short fuse already lit, and suffered from a chronic frustration

Most men would cower underneath the persecution of her pistol point

But every now and then, there'd be one seeking fame and find her at a local jip-joint

Somehow Annie always knew, and her eyes'd turn red

And all of a sudden there'd be a bullet in the belly of Fred, or Steve, or George

It don't matter

Oh Annie, you done done it again, girl

You better change your evil ways

Annie lay your six-guns down

Lest you find you're six foot underground

Put on your rouge, powder your nose

Hide your bow-legs under knee-high hoes

One, two, three, put him out of misery

Four, five, six, just to please them wicked kicks

You been burning powder

You better burn the breeze

Forever legend as Annie Departee

Annie Departee

Annie Departee

Annie Departee
