Billy The Kid lyrics
From the time known as Wheeling West Virginia
Rode a boy with a 6 gun in his hand And his daring life of crime Made him a legend in his time East and West of the Rio Grande Well he started with a bank in Colorado In the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid And his age and his size took the teller by surprise And word spread of Billy the Kid... Well he never heavy Yes, he always rode alone And he soon put other older guns to shame And he never had a sweetheart And he never had a home But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name Well he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma And the law just couldn't seem to track him down Well it serves his legend well For the folks they love to tell about when Billy the Kid came to town On one cold day a posse captured Billy And the judge said "String him up for what he did!" And the cowboys and their kin like a sea, came pouring came in to watch the hanging of Billy the Kid Well he never heavy Yes, he always rode alone And he soon put other older guns to shame And he never had a sweetheart And he never had a home But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island Rode a boy with a six pack in his hand And his daring life of crime Made him a legend in his time East and West of the Rio Grande
