Me And Billy The Kid - Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Peter Rowan

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

Until 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 the piano player

For playing his favourite song

No, Me and Billy the Kid 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 and 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've 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

Cause 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 never got along

Me and Billy the Kid never got along

But I did like the way he swayed in the wind

While I played him his favourite song

Now my baby sings harmony with me

To «La Cucaracha»

She winds her silver pocket watch

And pets her new Chihuahua

I moved in to the Hotel and got a room with a shower

We lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hour

Outside I hear the wind

Blowing o so strong

Me and Billy the Kid never got along
