Avenging Annie
--->original: i forgot
--->remake: Andy Pratt
we ran through hills and forest
as two under a spell
he was a city boy, Floyd the outlaw
but i thought i knew him well.
long after that great summer
when i first came into my fame
and the avenger from Oklahoma
was added to my name
the avenger i became.
well they call me Avenging Annie
i'm the avenger of womanhood
i spend my whole life telling lies
lead you on and mess you over good
i'll take all you spoiled young hippies
running around playing games
mess around in your bed, i'll blow your head
i'll put you through a change.
what you've done to others
i'll do unto you.
but then I met my sensitive outlaw
he was the best thing i ever did seen
i wanted to be his wife for the end of my life,
i was so blind i could never had seen.
no!
so i joined up with my outlaw
and headed for California.
he treated me worse than i'd ever imagined
he even say he don't want me around
he kept it up so long, i couldn't be strong
he run me right into the ground.
after five long years,
he picked me up and then he slapped me down.
when i told my friends about him
they all were on my side
but i could see through the haze, he looked so crazy
i put my head right down and i cried
for my poor lover
i cried like a mother for that poor lover.
well, i felt so sad about it
but i knew i couldn't do him no good
he was so far gone while standing on the lawn
when i left him, i knew i should
i knew i couldn't do him no good
and now i live out on a mountain top
and i'm almost thirty-five
and i've found my peace and i've found my release
and i'm happy just to be alive.
and i might go back to my Floyd
if i think it's the thing to do
he gave up murder and theft right after i left
and you know i still love him, too
just like a woman loves you...
well they call me Avenging Annie
i'm the avenger of womanhood
i spend my whole life telling lies
lead you on a mess and, oh yeah
well they call me Avenging Annie
i'm the avenger of womanhood
i spend my whole life telling lies
lead you on a mess and, oh yeah
