Me And Billy The Kid Lyrics - Stuart Marty

Written by Joe Ely 

Me and Billy the Kid never got along 

I didn't like the way he cocked his head and he wore his gun all wrong 

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 he never did wind. 

He crippled the piano player for playin' his favorite song 

Yeah, 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 hadn't been for that Senorita 

He gave her silver and he paid her hotel bill 

But it was me that she loved and she said she always will. 

I'd always go and see her when Billy was gone 

And 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 just bustin at the seams." 

I admit that I framed him but I don't feel so bad 

'Cause the way I was livin' was drivin' me mad 

Billy reached for his gun but his gun was on wrong 

Me and Billy the Kid never got along
