I was five and he was six

We rode on horses made of sticks

He wore black and I wore white

He would always win the fight

Bang bang he shot me down

Bang bang I hit the ground

Bang bang that awful sound

Bang bang my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time

When I grew up I called him mine

He would always laugh and say

Remember when we used to play

Bang bang I shot you down

Bang bang you hit the ground

Bang bang that awful sound

Bang bang I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang

Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone I don't know why

And till this day sometimes I cry

He didn't even say goodbye

He didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang he shot me down

Bang bang I hit the ground

Bang bang that awful sound

Bang bang my baby shot me down
