I was five and he was six

we rode on horse's 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 (solo)



Seasons came and changed the time

When 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 (solo)



Music played and people sang

just for me the church bells rang

Now 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 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 (solo)
