Testo Billy the Kid - Woody Guthrie
Testo della canzone Billy the Kid (Woody Guthrie), tratta dall'album Murder, Theft and Devilish Deals (Collection)
I'll tell you the story of Billy the Kid
And I'll tell of the things that this young outlaw did
Way out in the West when the country was young
When the gun was your law and your law was your gun
Now the Mexican maidens liked Billy so well
How many he had no expert could tell
While singin' and drinkin' he come to his end
Shot down by Pat Garrett who once was his friend
Pat Garrett rode up to the window that night
And the desert was still and the moonlight was bright
And he listened a while as the Kid told his tale
Of shootin' the guard at the Las Cruces jail
You sweet Mexican maidens come give me your hand
At the age of sixteen I killed my first man
It was out in New Mexico long, long ago
When a man's only chance was his old .44
I rode down the border and robbed in Juarez
I drank to the maidens the happiest of days
My picture is posted from Texas to Maine
And women and ridin' and robbin's my game
On the same night that young Billy died
He said to his friends, "I just ain't satisfied
There's twenty-one men that I put bullets through
And the sheriff of this county's gonna make twenty-two"
Pat Garrett then fired and his thumb buster cracked
And Billy fell dead, he was blowed through the back
Pat rode away and the Kid's layin' dead
And this was the last song of Billy the Kid
