HEY HEY BILLY

HEY HEY BILLY

HE TURNED TWENTY ONE HOLDIN’ A NEW FORTY FIVE.
FOR THE DEEDS HE HAD DONE HE WAS WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE.
HE HAD A SILVER PISTOL...ITS HANDLE WAS MOTHER OF PEARL
THRU A HEART OF STONE THATS HOW HE LOOKED AT THE WORLD

YEAH HE SHOT TO KILL AND HE DARED TO DOUBLE CROSS
THE SOUL OF WILLIAM H. BONNEY SOMEHOW GOT LOST
BORN IN NEW YORK ON THE EVE OF THE CIVIL WAR
HE WAS BAD TO THE BONE ALL THE WAY RIGHT DOWN TO THE CORE

CHORUS 1
HEY HEY BILLY...HEY HEY BILLY THE KID
YOU DID ALL THE THINGS...THE THINGS THEY SAID YOU DID
HEY HEY BILLY YOU DIDN’T THINK YOU’D EVER DIE
HEY HEY BILLY...HEY HEY BILLY BYE BYE

RUN DOWN BY A POSSE WHERE HIS FINAL FATE
WAS TO HANG FROM THE GALLOWS BUT HE FOUND A WAY TO ESCAPE
IN THE COVER OF DARKNESS HE GOT A SHORT REPRIEVE
BUT HE DID NOT HAVE MUCH LONGER...LONGER TO BREATH

CHORUS 2
HEY HEY BILLY...HEY HEY BILLY THE KID
YOU DID ALL THE THINGS...THE THINGS THEY SAID YOU DID
HEY HEY BILLY YOU DIDN’T THINK YOU’D EVER DIE
HEY HEY BILLY...HEY HEY BILLY BYE BYE

BRIDGE
IN PAULITA’S BEDROOM THEY PRONOUNCED HIM DEAD
PAT GARRET’S BULLET GOT BILLY THE KID
A RUSTLER...GAMBLER...MAN ON THE RUN
AN OUTCAST WHO LIVED WITH HIS HAND ON HIS GUN
LAID TO REST IN NEW MEXICO WHEN HIS FINAL DAYS WERE DONE

CHORUS 3
HEY HEY BILLY...HEY HEY BILLY THE KID
YOU DID ALL THE THINGS...THE THINGS THEY SAID YOU DID
HEY HEY BILLY YOU DIDN’T THINK YOU’D EVER DIE
HEY HEY BILLY...HEY HEY BILLY BYE BYE
