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 he wore his gun all wrong
But we had the same girlfriend
And he never forgot it
She had a cute little Chihuahua
Till one day up and shot it
He rode the hard country
Down the New Mexico line
He had a silver pocket watch
That he never did wind
He crippled a piano player
For playing his favorite song
No, me and Billy the Kid
Never got along
Well 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
He was bad to the bone, all hopped up on speed
I woulda 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 and see her
When Billy was gone
No, me and Billy the Kid
Never got along
Me and Billy the Kid
Never got along
I didn't like the way he buckled his belt
And he wore his gun all wrong
One day I said to Billy
"I got this fool-proof scheme
We'll rob Wells Fargo
It's busting at the seams!"
I admit that I framed him
But I don't feel bad
'Cause the way I was living
Was driving me mad
Billy reached for his gun
But his gun was on wrong
No, me and Billy the Kid
Never got along
Me and Billy the Kid
Never got along
But I did like the way he swayed in the wind
While 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 the hotel
I got a room with a shower
We lay and listen to that watch tick
Hour after hour
Outside I hear the wind
Blowing oh so strong
No, me and Billy the Kid
Never got along
We never got along
He wasn't no good
Big time wrong
All night long
He'd been in the sun too long
