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 all the people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Now he's gone
I don't know why
Until this day I sometimes 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
