Billy the Kid (2008 Remaster) - Ry Cooder
I'll sing you a true
Song of Billy the Kid
I'll sing you the
Record of deeds that he did
Way out in New Mexico
A long time ago
When a man's only friend
Was his own forty- four
Now when Billy the Kid
Was a very young lad
In old Silver City
He went to the bad
Way out west
With a knife in his hand
At the age of twelve years
He killed his first man
Fair Mexican maidens
Play guitars and sing
Songs about Billy
Their boy bandit king
Before this young manhood
Reached its sad end
He'd a notch on his pistol
For twenty one men
It was on one black night
That poor Billy died
He said to his friends
I am not satisfied
There's twenty one men
That I've put bullets through
And sheriff Pat Garrett's gonna
Make twenty-two
Well this is how
Billy the Kid met his fate
A big moon was shining
And the hour was late
Shot down by Pat Garrett
Silver City's best friend
The poor outlaw's life
Have reached it's sad end
