... you shot me down

... I hit the ground

... that awful sound

... my baby shot me down

I was five and you were six

We rode on horses made of sticks

I wore black you wore white

You would always win the fight

Bang bang you 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

I grew up I called you mine

You would always laugh and say

Remember when we used to play

Bang bang you shot me down

Bang bang and I hit the ground

Bang bang that awful sound

Bang bang my baby shot me down

Music played and people sang

Just for me the church bells rang

After echoes from a gun

We both vowed that we'd be one

Now you're gone I don't know why

Sometimes I cry

You didn't say goodbye

You didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang you shot me down

Bang bang I hit the ground

Bang bang that awful sound

Bang bang my baby shot me down

Bang bang you shot me right between my eyes

Bang bang you can't go paralyzed

Bang bang bang bang bang bang

Bang bang oh baby I'm laying on the ground

Bang bang I'll never come around

Bang bang

Bang bang

Oh baby

Bang bang

Oh baby come and wrap me

Bang bang

You see how sweet it's gonna be

Bang bang

Bang bang

Bang bang

Oh my baby, my baby shot me down

Bang bang
