"Don't Kill Me Tonight" lyrics

It was Thanksgiving day 1875
Annie met her match
She beat the best shot alive
Made Frank Butler her catch and her crown
A year later she wore a grey wedding gown

Hey please don't kill me tonight
Over something I might have said this morning
May your bullet see the light
Of my cigarette and send this crowd a-roaring
Annie I love you
I'd die for you

They rode with Buffalo Bill in 1885
Fame and fortune followed them from far and wide
Shooting whilst standing on a horses hips
She shot playing cards and big cigars
From her nervous husband's lips

Hey please don't kill me tonight
Over something I might have said this morning
May your bullet see the light
Of my cigarette and send this crowd a-roaring
Annie I love you
I'd die for you
I'll die for you
I'll die for you
If your aim ain't true

Gunslinging suffragette
A hundred years before cassettes
She wanted woman-kind to roar
Not just scrub and sweep the floor

Then one day her death had come
Her shells had emptied out one by one
Poor Frank Butler he died fast
Two weeks later he smoked his last

Hey please don't kill me tonight
Over something I might have said this morning
May your bullet see the light
Of my cigarette and send this crowd a-roaring

Hey please don't kill me tonight
Over something I might have said this morning
May your bullet see the light
Of my cigarette and send this crowd a-roaring
Annie I love you
I'd die for you
I'll die for you
