Well, 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.
But we had the same girlfriend,
and he never forgot it.
She had a cute little chihuahua,
till 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 playin' his favorite song
No, me and Billy the Kid
never got along
Yeah, me and Billy the Kid
never got along
They didn't like the way
he buckled his belt
And he wore his gun all wrong
He was bad to the bone
All hopped up on speed
I would have left him alone
It wasn't for that senorita
He gave herself her
And her paid her hotel bill
But it was me she loved
She said she always will
I'd always go and see her
When Bill was gone
No, me and Beth the kid
We never got along
Yeah, 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
We'll rob Wells Fargo,
it's bustin' at the seams
I admit that I frame it,
but I don't feel bad
Cause the way I was livin',
it was drivin' me mad
Billy reached for his gun,
but his gun was on wrong
No me and Billy the Kid,
we never got along
Now me and Billy the Kid
never got along
But I did like the way
he swayed in the wind
While 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,
I got a room with a shower
We lay and listen to that watch
tick hour after hour
Outside I hear the wind
blowin' oh so strong
No, me and Billy the Kid
never got along
We never got along, we never got along
We never got along,
