Bobbie Gentry Billy The Kid Lyrics

Billy The Kid Lyrics

Billy the kid I understand you



It really ain't your fault that the west is so wild



Billy the kid cain't reprimand you



You must have been deprived when you was a child







Whoopee ti yi yipee yipee, shoot 'em in the belly Billy



Ti yi yipee yipee, shoot 'em in the head



Ti yi yipee yipee, saw you on the telly Billy



Late late showdown - down dead







You're headed for the last round up



Your corral's OK



But your morale's in a sad bad way







Billy the kid, you should have been a good guy



If you had had the proper guidance from your dad



Billy the kid, nobody should die



Environmental circumstances made you go bad







Whoopee ti yi yipee yipee, shoot 'em in the belly Billy



Ti yi yipee yipee, Billy give 'em hell



Ti yi yipee yipee, saw you on the telly Billy



Farewell welfare, farewell







Now you'll be a swingin' from the top of a tree



You're being punished with a capitol P



Oh me
