Testo Me and Billy the Kid - Joe Ely

Testo della canzone Me and Billy the Kid (Joe Ely), tratta dall'album Live Chicago 1987

Me and Billy the Kid never got along

I didn't like the way he cocked his hat and wore his gun all wrong

We had the same girlfriend and he never forgot it

She had a cute little chihuahua 'til one day I went and shot it

He rode the hard country down the New Mexico line

He had a silver pocket watch and he never did whine

He crippled a piano player for playing his favorite song

And me and Billy the Kid just never got along

Me and Billy the Kid never got along

I didn't like the way he parted his hair and he wore his gun all wrong

He was bad to the bone, all hopped up on speed

I would have left him alone if it wasn't for that senorita

He gave her silver and he paid her hotel bill

But it was me she loved and she said she always will

I'd always go to see her when Billy was gone

And me and Billy the Kid never got along

Me and Billy the Kid never got along

I didn't like the way he tied his shoes and he wore his gun all wrong

One day I said, "Billy, I got this foolproof scheme

We'll rob Wells Fargo, it's bustin' at the seams"

I admit that I framed him but I don't feel bad

'Cause the way I was livin' was drivin' me mad

Billy reached for his gun but his gun was on wrong

And me and Billy the Kid just never got along

Me and Billy the Kid never got along

But I did like the way he swayed in the

Wind when I played him his favorite song

Now my baby sings harmony with me to "La Cucaracha"

She winds her silver pocket watch and pets her new chihuahua

I moved into a hotel, got a room with a shower

We lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hour

Outside I hear the wind blowin' a whistle strong

And me and Billy the Kid never got along

We never got along

He was no good, big time wrong

All night long

And the sun grew long
