The Andrews Sisters — I Didnt Know The Gun Was Loaded

Oh Miss Effie was her name Through the west she won her fame Being handy with a 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 know you'll turn me loose When you hеar my one excuse" I didn't know (shе 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 ping I'll never never do it again 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 ping I'll never, never do it again
