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
Jesus came
and changed the time
And 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
Hey, hey, hey, hey
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
