(Andy Pratt)




They ran through hills and forest
As two under a spell

He was a city boy Floyd the outlaw
And she thought she new him well.




Long after that great summer


When she first came into her fame
And the avenger from Oklahoma

Was added to her name

The avenger she became.



Well they call her avenging Annie

The avenger of womanhood

She spends her whole life telling lies

These on a messand over good

Running around playing games
She'll take all these spoilt younghippies


They're surrounding your bed, she'll blow your head

She'll put you through a change.



What you've done to others

She'll do unto you.




Then she met her sensitive outlaw
He was the best thing she ever did seen

She was to be his wife for the rest of her life,


No!
But she was so blind she could never had seen.



So she joined up with her outlaw

And headed for California.



He treated her worse than she'd ever imagined

He didn't say he didn't want her around

He kept it up so long, she couldn't be strong


He run her right into the ground.


After five long years,

He picked her up and slapped her down.



Then she told her friends about him

They all were on her side
But she could see through the haze he looked so pale


She put her head right down and she cried.



For her poor lover

She cried like a mother for her poor lover.



And now she lives on a mountain top

And she's almost thirty-five

And she's found her peace and found her release


Happyjust to be alive.


And she might go back to her Floyd

If she thinks it's the thing to do

He gave up murder and theft after she left

And you know she still loves him to

Just like a worn out shoe

Just like a worn out shoe

Just like a worn out shoe


Just like a worn out shoe

Just like a worn out shoe
Just like a worn out shoe

Just like a worn out shoe



Well they call her avenging Annie

The avenger of womanhood

She spends her whole life telling lies
Leads them on a mess and over good.

Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe and I've got a right to know.

Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe please tell us it ain't so.

They told us that our hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on.
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good ole days are gone.

The army and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce.
One mans word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce.

Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you Joe and they're ruining our show.
