about

Original Western waltz inspired by Jimmie Rodgers' and '30s honky tonk music. The story about Annie Oakley, a famous American sharpshooter and performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, her historical confrontation with Kaiser Wilhelm II and what could have happened if she missed by a few inches while shooting off ash from his cigarette.

lyrics

~ Queen of the Wild West Show ~

Chorus:
My name is Annie Oakley
Queen of the Wild West Show
Shot my first rifle in Ohio
Yodel-ay-hee-hoo yodel-ay-hee

I come from old Darke County
I ran away from the wolves
I made it to Cincinnati
With countless trigger pulls

And though I was born in a man's world
I ramble where I please
'Cause a loaded Colt in the hand of a girl
Is light as the morning breeze

Chorus 2x

"A little sure shot" they call me
"A gift for the world to see"
I showed off my skill with Buffalo Bill
Yonder in Germany

The crowd, they watched my performance
They watched me all in awe
There came along a tall, dark prince
To hear my pistol roar

Chorus 3x

The prince, he looked at me smilin'
He raised his cigar my way
The bullet flew fast as lightning
And blew all the ashes away

If only I'd stolen his last breath
And missed by an inch or two
I'd free the world from sorrow and death
The Great War would've never come true

Chorus 4x

Shot my first rifle in Ohio
Yodel-ay-hee-hoo yodel-ay-hee
