Little Miss Sure-Shot

Pretty funny name for a girl—her name traveled ‘round the world, “little Miss Sure-Shot” they called her everywhere. She sure shootin’ earned her fame—“Annie Oakley” was her other name— She blasted those little glass balls right out of the air… And a Winchester rifle became that girl’s best friend! Little Miss Sure-Shot, you shot through our hearts back then; And the likes of your marksmanship won’t be seen again. Little Miss Sure-Shot you shot through our hearts back then… In your cowgirl costume you rode through our Western dream. Her Daddy died when she was ten—she picked up a rifle and then She filled up the table with rabbits and quail to eat. At fifteen she met her man—good lookin’ with a gun in his hand; He tried to outshoot her but that hero, he got beat. So he married little Annie—they hit the bull’s eve with their love! She done pretty good for a girl Her boss he took her ‘round the world— Buffalo Bill on that Wild West show-biz trail. From Memphis to Cheyenne—she shook Queen Victoria’s hand, Little Miss sure-Shot, her aim it never failed…. And she shot a cigarette out of Kaiser Wilhelm’s mouth!
