Avenging Annie Lyrics - Singles - Roger Daltrey

(Andy Pratt) 

They ran through hills and forest 

As two under a spell 

He was a city boy Floyd the outlaw 

And she thought she new him well. 

Long after that great summer 

When she first came into her fame 

And the avenger from Oklahoma 

Was added to her name 

The avenger she became.

Well they call her avenging Annie 

The avenger of womanhood 

She spends her whole life telling lies 

These on a mess and over good 

She'll take all these spoilt young hippies 

Running around playing games 

They're surrounding your bed, she'll blow your head 

She'll put you through a change. 

What you've done to others 

She'll do unto you. 

Then she met her sensitive outlaw 

He was the best thing she ever did seen 

She was to be his wife for the rest of her life, 

But she was so blind she could never had seen. 

No! 

So she joined up with her outlaw 

And headed for California.

He treated her worse than she'd ever imagined 

He didn't say he didn't want her around 

He kept it up so long, she couldn't be strong 

He run her right into the ground. 

After five long years, 

He picked her up and slapped her down. 

Then she told her friends about him 

They all were on her side 

But she could see through the haze he looked so pale 

She put her head right down and she cried. 

For her poor lover 

She cried like a mother for her poor lover. 

And now she lives on a mountain top 

And she's almost thirty-five 

And she's found her peace and found her release 

Happy just to be alive. 

And she might go back to her Floyd 

If she thinks it's the thing to do 

He gave up murder and theft after she left 

And you know she still loves him too 

Just like your woman loves you 

Just like your woman loves you 

Just like your woman loves you 

Just like your woman loves you 

Just like your woman loves you 

Just like your woman loves you 

Just like your woman loves you 

Well they call her avenging Annie 

The avenger of womanhood 

She spends her whole life telling lies 

Leads them on a mess and over good.
