Billy The Kid
Recorded by Marty Robbins
[3/4 time]
C G7
I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid
C G7
I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did
C F
Way out in New Mexico long long ago
C G7 C
When a man's only chance was his own forty-four
G7
When Billy the Kid was a very young lad
C G7
In old Silver City he went to the bad
C F
Way out in the West with a gun in his hand
C G7 C
At the age of twelve years he did kill his first man
G7
There's Mexican maidens play guitars and sing
C G7
Songs about Billy their boy bandit king
C F
Ere his young manhood has reached his sad end
C G7 C
With a notch an his pistol for twenty one men
G7
Was on a sad night when poor Billy died
C G7
He said to his friend I'm not satisfied
C F
There's twenty one men I have put bullets through
C G7 C
Sheriff Pat Garrett must make twenty two
G7
I'll sing you how Billy the Kid met his fate
C G7
The bright moon was shining the hour was late
C F
Shot down by Pat Garrett who once was his friend
C G7 C
The young outlaw's life is now come to an end
G7
There's many a man with a face fine and fair
C G7
Who start out in life with a chance to be square
C F
Just like poor Billy they wander astray
C G7 C
They'll lose their lives in the very same way
