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 fightBang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me downSeasons came, and changed the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say:
Remember when we used to playBang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you downMusic played, and people sang
Just for me the church bells rangNow he's gone, I don't know why
Until this day sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lieBang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the groundBang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me downBang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
