The Ballad Of Billy The Kid

In old New York City
Back in '59
His daddy told him boy you walk that narrow line
He headed west past Austin
To kill a man in blue
His blood started pumping as he grips his gun and shoots
Oh my my
What a curse if he crossed your county lines
He's a natural born killer that's no stranger to the trigger
Or the shiver when your life slips away
Oh my my
If you see him in town you better hide
He'll put a bullet in your chest he's the devil in the flesh
Ain't no chance you're ever running away
He said my name is Billy
The one that cannot die
But he didn't know that fate would come and meet him late July
That's when he met the sheriff
Who had him dead to rights
An empty cold dark room is where Garrett
Finally took his life
Oh my my
What a curse if he crossed your county lines
He's a natural born killer that's no stranger to the trigger
Or the shiver when your life slips away
Oh my my
There's no longer the need to run and hide
They put a bullet in his chest, Billy died out in the west
Ain't no chance he's ever running away
Oh my my
There's no longer the need to run and hide
They put a bullet in his chest, Billy died out in the west
Ain't no chance he's ever running away
