Take Aim at the High Mark
Chorus
Take aim at the high mark and you will hit it
Maybe not the first time or the third
Keep on aiming, keep on shooting
It takes hard work to shoot straight in this world
Phoebe Butler was a shooter, her husband Frank told her
"Practice, practice, practice, and believe in your heart"
He was more than a husband, he was her shooting partner
And when he aimed, he aimed to please her heart
Chorus
Buffalo Bill was a showman, and this is what she told him
"I’ll become Annie Oakley, and I will travel the world"
He later wrote about her that she was the truest
Both in heart and aim, in this big old world
Chorus
Sitting Bull was a leader, and this is what he called her
"Little Sure Shot" was her name
He said, "Only a person possessed of good spirit
Could live up to Little Sure Shot’s aim"
Chorus
