Lyrics

[ANNIE] Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say That's why I'm such a wonderful shot I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day And now tell me what have I got? I'm quick on the trigger with targets Not much bigger than a pinpoint I'm number one But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar Oh you can't get a man with a gun When I'm with a pistol, I sparkle like a crystal Yes, I shine like the morning sun But I lose all my luster, when with a bronco buster Oh you can't get a man with a gun With a gun, with a gun No you can't get a man with a gun If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle You'd havе steak when the job was donе But, if I shot the herder, they'd holler bloody murder And you can't shoot a male in the tail like a quail Oh you can't get a man with a gun I'm cool, brave, and daring To see a lion glaring When I'm out with my Remington But a look from a mister Would raise a fever blister Oh you can't get a man with a gun The gals with umbrellas are always out with fellers In the rain or the blazin' sun But a man never trifles with gals who carry rifles Oh you can't get a man with a gun With a gun, with a gun No you can't get a man with a gun A man's love is mighty He'll even buy a nightie For a gal that he thinks is fun But they don't buy pajamas For pistol packin' mamas And you can't get a hug From a mug with a slug Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
