  • Carole King Goat Annie Lyrics

           

    When I was young I used to see her

    Herdin' her goats on the hillside

    No one knows

    And she ain't tellin' her age

    I'd say she's just about seventy-five



    She's an old timer tryin'

    To hold on to what she's got

    They call her Goat Annie



    I still remember the stories

    The townspeople told to each other

    Just because she liked her goats

    Better than people

    They said the devil was her brother



    She never paid them no mind

    She just kept on

    Bein' herself--Goat Annie



    She's a rare individual

    One of a dying breed

    Everything she's got

    Right now

    Is all she'll ever need



    One day the government decided

    They had to have

    The land she lived on

    They came with the papers

    Polite as could be

    They said she had just thirty days

    To get gone



    You could see them smirking

    We're just doin' our job here

    You understand, Goat Annie



    She said, I was born and raised here

    Ain't never done wrong to no one

    You ain't gonna

    Throw me off my land, not

    Me or my goats or my shotgun



    Then she leveled her 12-gauge

    With a blast, she sent 'em packin'

    Go, Goat Annie



    Next day they came with the lawmen

    But that didn't get 'em nowhere

    Rather than shoot

    At a poor old lady

    They decided to let her

    Live her days out there



    It doesn't happen very often

    But there are still some people

    With heart

    Like Goat Annie
