I was born in Wild Wyoming

I always fancied roaming

Til I rode into Old Dodge City

Now I'll stay there til I die

I'm wanted in Texas and Tennessee

Dead or alive Bad Sadie Lee

I take just what I want as I pass by



I can draw faster than a man can see

I can shoot better than Annie Oakley



Ain't no-one around who shoots better than me

And I'll show you just what I mean

Fired a shot at a buzzard on a limb

Killed him stone dead but it went through him

Shot a buffalo down in Mexico

Shot a blasted Jim Crow

In a bar I never had been



I don't have to wait for Sadie Hawkins Day

All I have to holler is the word okay

They know I'll shoot them if they run away

But there's one true love I've had

The man I loved was called Daniel Boone

We crooned beneath the watermelon moon in June

But he left me for a ginger-haired ornery raccoon

And that's what turned me bad
