Lyrics

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
 We had the same girlfriend
 And he never forgot it
 She had a cute little chihuahua
 Til one day he 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
 Yeah, me and Billy the Kid
 Just never got along
 Me and Billy the Kid
 Never got along
 I didn't like the way he parted his hair
 And he wore his gun all wrong
 He was bad to the bone
 All hopped up on speed
 I would've 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
 She said she always will
 I'd always go and see her
 When Billy was gone
 Yeah, me and Billy the Kid
 Never got along
 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
 One day, I said to Billy:
 "I got this foolproof scheme
 We'll rob Wells Fargo
 It's busting at the seams"
 I admit that I framed him
 But I don't feel bad
 Because the way I was living
 Was driving me mad
 Billy reached for his gun
 But his gun was on wrong
 Yeah, me and Billy the Kid
 Just never got along
 Me and Billy the Kid
 Never got along
 But I did like the way he swayed in the wind
 When 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
 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
 Me and Billy the Kid
 Never got along
 We never got along
