"Shootin' Star" lyrics - THE OKEE DOKEE BROTHERS

Annie Oakley was the best shooting star in the west
With a quick draw and a straight shot and a red leather vest
She could hit a bullseye, she could shoot the moon
But at the end of her shows she'd sing 'em this tune

[Chorus:]
Put your 6-shooter down
Grab your six-string guitar
Start singing and wishin'
On a long shootin' star
And wish that we might
And wish that we may
Hang up our guns
And put the bullets away

Buffalo Bill, was loaded with fun
His pappy was a pistol he was a son of a gun
But boys and their toys don't always get along
So after his showdowns he'd sing 'em this song

[Chorus:]
Put your 6-shooter down
Grab your six-string guitar
Start singing and wishin'
On a long shootin' star
And wish that we might
And wish that we may
Hang up our guns
And put the bullets away

Calamity Jane was a sure shooter too
But she never gave glory to what shootin' could do
But they say every legend goes out with a bang
So she put down her gun, and here's what she sang

[Chorus:]
Put your 6-shooter down
Grab your six-string guitar
Start singing and wishin'
On a long shootin' star
And wish that we might
And wish that we may
Hang up our guns
And put the bullets away
