Lyrics
Oh Miss Effie was her name Through the west she won her fame Being handy with the 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

Now one night she had a date With a wrestling heavyweight And he tried a brand new hold She did not appreciate So she whipped out her pistol And shot him in the knee And quickly, she sang this plea

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'll know you turn me loose When you hear my one excuse"

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

Yes the jury all agreed That Miss Effie should be free 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 sorry my friend I didn't know the gun was loaded And I'll never, never do it again

(Uh oh! I didn't know it was loaded)
