GWell, me and Billy the Kid never got along
GI didn't like the way he cocked his hat and he wore his gun all wrong
We Chad the same girlfriend and he never forgot it
She had a Gcute little Chihuahua till one day he up and shot it
He Drode the hard country down the New Mexico line
He Ghad a silver pocket watch that he never did wind
He Dcrippled a piano player for playing his favorite song
No, Gme and Billy the Kid never got along

Yeah, me and Billy the Kid never got along
I didn't like the way he buckled his belt and he wore his gun all wrong
He was bad to the bone, all hopped up on speed
I would have left him alone if it wasn't for that señorita
He gave her silver and he paid her hotel bill
But it was me she loved, she said she always will
I'd always go and see her when Billy was gone
No, me and Billy the Kid never got along
Yeah, 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 got this foolproof scheme
We'll rob Wells Fargo, it's busting 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
No, me and Billy the Kid, we never got along
No, 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 into the hotel, I got a room with a shower
We lay and listen to that watch tick, hour after hour
Outside I hear the wind, blowing oh, so strong
No, me and Billy the Kid never got along
We never got along
We never got along
We never got along
Never got along
He'd been in the sun too long
I admit that I framed him but I don't feel no remorse
'Cause I never could forgive him for stealing my old horse

Well, 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 till one day he up and shot it

He rode the hard country down the New Mexico line

He had a silver pocket watch that he never did wind

He crippled a piano player for playing his favorite song

No, me and Billy the Kid never got along
