Me and Billy the Kid never got along
|
I didn't like the way he cocked his hat
|
and he wore his gun all wrong.
|
We had the same girlfriend
|
and he never forgot it
|
She had a cute little Chihuahua
|
until one day he up and shot it
|
He rode the hard country down the New Mexico line
|
He had a silver pocketwatch that he never did wind.
|
He crippled the piano player
|
for playin' his favorite song
|
No, Me and Billy the Kid never got along
|
|
|
Me and Billy the Kid never got along
|
I didn't like the way he parted his hair
|
and he wore his gun all wrong
|
He was bad to the bone
|
All hopped up on speed.
|
I would've left him alone
|
If it wasn't for that Senorita
|
He gave her silver and he paid her hotel bill
|
But it was me she loved and she said she always will.
|
I'd always go and see her
|
when Billy was gone
|
Yeah, Me and Billy the Kid never got along
|
|
|
Me and Billy the Kid never got along
|
I didn't like the way he tied his shoes
|
and he wore his gun all wrong
|
One day I said to Billy
|
"I've got this foolproof scheme"
|
We'll rob Wells Fargo
|
"It's bustin at the seams."
|
I admit that I framed him but I don't feel bad
|
Cause the way I was livin' was drivin' me mad
|
Billy reached for his gun
|
but his gun was on wrong
|
Yeah, Me and Billy the Kid never got along
|
|
|
Me and Billy the Kid never got along
|
But I did like the way he swayed in the wind
|
While I played him his favorite song
|
Now my baby sings harmony with me
|
To "La Cucaracha"
|
She winds her silver pocket watch
|
And pets her new Chihuahua
|
I moved in to the Hotel and got a room with a shower
|
We lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hour
|
Outside I hear the wind
|
blowin' o so strong
|
Me and Billy the Kid never got along
|
