Текст песни Andrew sisters - I didn't know the gun was loaded

Oh Miss Effie was her name

Through the west she won her fame

Being handy with the gun

But she drove the men insane.

'Cause she'd whip out her pistol

And shoot most any guy

And sing out this alibi.

I didn't know the gun was loaded

And I'm so sorry my friend

I didn't know the gun was loaded

And I'll never, never do it again.

But one night she made a slip

Shot the sheriff in the hip

So the law, it took a hand

And made Effie take the stand.

And she pled, "Oh, your honor

I'll know you'll turn me loose

When you hear my one excuse."

I didn't know (she didn't know) the gun was loaded

And I'm so (and I'm so) sorry my friend

I didn't know (she didn't know) the gun was loaded

And I'll never, never do it again.

I didn't know (she didn't know)

The gun was loaded (that the gun was loaded)

But regarding the gun that I toted.

All I did was hold it high

And go (4 simulated firing sounds)

I'll never, never do it again.

(bridge)

Yes, the jury all agreed

That Miss Effie should be freed

But the sheriff's jealous wife

Was indignant (yes, indeed)

So she borrowed a pistol

And shot this village belle

And sang as Miss Effie fell.

I didn't know the gun was loaded

And I'm so (and I'm so) sorry my friend

I didn't know (she didn't know) the gun was loaded

And I'll never, never do it again.

I didn't know (she didn't know)

The gun was loaded (that the gun was loaded)

But regarding the gun that I toted

All I did was hold it high

And go (4 simulated firing sounds)

I'll never, never do it again.
