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

Oh

Now he's gone I don't know why

And 'till 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

Oh ooh

My baby shot me down

My baby shot me down

Shot me down

Shot me down down down down down
