[00:04.36]The Ballad Of Billy The Kid
[00:05.09]
[00:44.04]
[01:01.66]From a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia
[01:07.68]Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
[01:13.79]And his daring life of crime
[01:16.56]Made him a legend in his time
[01:19.46]East and West of the Rio Grande
[01:23.36]
[01:34.16]Well he started with a bank in Colorado
[01:39.64]In the pocket of his vest a Colt he hid
[01:45.21]And his age and his size
[01:48.20]Took the teller by surprise
[01:51.10]And the word spread of Billy the Kid
[01:55.50]
[01:59.86]Well he never travelled heavy
[02:02.39]Yes, he always rode alone
[02:05.41]And he soon put many older guns to shame
[02:11.08]Well he never had a sweetheart
[02:13.69]And he never had a home
[02:16.86]But the cowboys and the ranchers knew his name
[02:22.20]
[02:22.85]Well he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma
[02:25.47]And the law just could not seem to track him down
[02:33.30]And it served his legend well
[02:36.32]For the folks they love to tell
[02:39.33]'Bout when Billy the Kid came to town
[02:43.11]
[03:40.40]One cold day a posse captured Billy
[03:45.81]And the judge said, "String 'im up for what he did."
[03:51.23]And the cowboys and their kin
[03:54.08]Like the sea came pourin' in
[03:56.80]To watch the hangin' of Billy the Kid
[04:01.20]
[04:05.76]Well he never travelled heavy
[04:07.99]Yes, he always rode alone
[04:11.04]And he soon put many older guns to shame
[04:16.34]Well he never had a sweetheart
[04:19.00]Tho' he finally found a home
[04:21.97]Underneath the Boot Hill grave that bears his name
[04:27.79]
[04:28.34]From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island
[04:33.75]Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand
[04:39.37]And his daring life of crime
[04:42.51]Made him a legend in his time
[04:45.72]East and West of the Rio Grande
